Kevin,

if I'm understanding you right, you're trying to get news from several
news servers being connected to one ISP!?

If yes, then try YarnIo packed together with VSoup. Setup is a little
bit complicated, but it's working (at least) for me quite well.

Only caveat is transmission to more than one news server. This is
currently not supported, because VSoup does not support this (because
there is no unique message from the news servers, if and why
transmission fails...).

BTW: who's this Tanabata? (excuse my ignorence...)

PS: I don't know what to do with Kevin: shoot him, kiss him or what
else. At least he has found a problem/bug of Yarn: it was really
difficult to forward a reply to the list, because Kevin mentioned
myself in the To: header. This seems to mix up Yarn, so that it
redirects such meesages to the news server, not to the
smtp-gateway. Hey Chin, another bug (where is the source?????)!
