Most of the free nntp servers dont allow posting (to avoid abuse, I guess)
or only offer specialised groups. However, I've settled on nntp.idg.pl
because it was one of the few to offer alt.os.linux.mandriva, even
though I cannot post via them. I'm hoping to upgrade to broadband soon
anyway.

Thanks,
Ted.
