You can use all of Cox's news servers though....
news.west.cox.net
news.central.cox.net
news.east.cox.net
Total of 12 connections. |

Now there is no longer 3 servers, only 2, and you may also only connect a total of 4 times, across the servers.
So you only get 4 connections, max, regardless of how you decide to split your connections between the 2 servers. |

If you want unlimited newsgroups try Giganews (»www.giganews.com/)
The limit actually isn't that bad and I am usually able to max it out.2 Mbps is pretty good for a free service. Do you use the newsgroups robertfl? |
