Unfortunately, as the prior example showed, I can't get away without the
'@spire.com' part in the username. And I *really* do need
authentication (which is dumb, but the ISP did that). It may wind up
meaning I can't use the ISP. Do you know of a way even to use SOUPER
with authentication... or any other program. I could live with the slow
speed of SOUPER (compared to VSOUP)... but not without having access to
a newsfeed in Yarn.
