That doesn't work. My ISP has a series of newsgroups (including complete (!)
binaries, at new.telekabel.at), and there came also a test ng. There are
still people testing everywhere. Only the people who are already a bit

setups....

Probably. We don't react anymore, except for one posting '->telekabel.test'
