Interesting, another article stated that "AOL's Usenet implementation
was non-standard from the start. The service doesn't allow members to
connect directly to its network news transfer protocol (NNTP) servers."

It is intersting, but they've always known that they had a problem
that resulted in their e-mail being delayed and they've never been
willing to do anything about it. Yes, I asked long ago and far
away. If I was still on that lame*$$ service I think I'd do a DNS
look-up and try configuring a newsreader to test each of the
servers listed as theirs and figure out where their NNTP host
really was and see if I could connect to it directly. That would
allow me to connect with an external browser if they refused to
tell me what the Server was. Just a thought, not a suggestion.
The suggestion would be, ditch them and get a real ISP. YMMV.
