I've been working with that a bit... sorry for responding late, but
trying to wrinkle out these issues takes time...

Yes, it is hard to get the local conferences, because of this (not
carried on every server). Luckily one allows sending via e-mail,
though.

Tanabata is a Japanese summer holiday festival, July 7th,
celebrating the one night of the year Altair the shepherd boy gets
to visit his girlfriend Vega the king's daughter by crossing the
milky way. Romance, comets, etc. Lots of fun. For pictures, come
visit my website for more.

I'll choose the "what else" option. I most certainly did get your
attention thataway, so I'm not sorry... <g>

Thanks for the help, I have YARNIO working pretty well now, so I'm
about ready to use the news.gol.com server for the last time, get
all caughtup on the news.asahi-net.or.jp newsgroups, then use it
from there on out. Except perhaps those local groups.
