When first visiting many but not all NGs, nothing comes over the modem and the computer waits "forever" for the highlighted message to appear.
If i try various messages, that problem continues, until i get an Alert saying "A news (NNTP) error occurred. Too Many Connections {Dialup-Level3 allows 4 per host/0 per feed (0==nolimit)] (Tornado v1.0.5.360"
What the hell do i do to fix this crap?


I've been having the same problem, on Earthlink, for several days. I haven't called them, yet.

Ahh..i think you hit the right nail.
BTW, *this* time all was OK when i re-tried SED, but was AFU when i posted the query.
