Demon's newsserver is broken and has been for a while. Either sign up for NIN
(http://news.individual.net) for 10 euros/year orhttp://www.motzarella.orgfor free.

Check back to about when it went pear shaped and read the tech news
for that time.

I believe that a major server company went tits-up about then. Maybe
Demon were using their routes?
