I'm not sure if you mean to post this to admin.nntp? It sounds like you're using the web interface, not NNTP? If not, ignore this, because I know little about NNTP interfaces.

I have a 100 MHz computer, connected to the Net via a 56K modem dialup, with an old scanner that I got second-(or third-)hand for about $25. It works fine.
