I am using NewsPro for a couple a days know, and i like it

I find something new every couple of hours

So i have been looking for some extra info too.. and support in dutch language would be very handy! Looking forward to see the site grow

I read on your site about the Xpat thing (again) so this time i tried somethings and think I like it

but unfortunately my free account @ teranews doesn't seem to support it. Same for my 3 day trail at giganews..

Maybe you can add some more xpat background info it (or just a link) about the good and bad things and why it is not supported by all? Is it a very new tech?...

Doeg!

i'm not sure teranews supports xpat at all.

i think astraweb.com does.

There is a simple routine to check is xpat is supported:

Login @ your ISP: 'telnet news.astraweb.com 119' (example of course)
type: 'help'

If xpat is somewhere in the allowed command list, you're ready to go
