Folks:

As most of you know ... a number of the lists hosted by midrange.com are gated to newsgroups by the gmane.org service.

A few lists hosted here I did not want gated to gmane.org's news server because they have a very limited scope and reach.

As an alternative, I have made some of those lists available on a private news server that I run.

Currently the only lists available on the private server are:

midrange-nontech
pctech
cpf0000

The news server host address is nntp.midrange.com, PORT 1199 (note the non-standard port). No authentication is necessary.

This news server is relatively new to me ... so there may be some glitches. Please contact me via PRIVATE email if you encounter any oddities.

As with the gmane.org hosted newsgroups ... you still have to be subscribed to the list in order to post ... but you can disable mail delivery if you are going to use the news server exclusively.

PLEASE NOTE: This private news server does *NOT* encrypt email addresses like gmane.org's servers do.

If you have any questions about the new service, feel free to contact me privately.
