   DW> Although I never quite got it working, I was also working on a mod that   
   DW> would help me not pull thousands of messages from the server when the news   
   DW> service my ISP had contracted out to mysteriously reset their message   
   DW> pointers.  That was common enough to cause problems.   
      
   Which service was this? I had the exact same problem a few years ago with    
   Usenetdemon. Just up and reset all the pointers for some inexplicable reason.   
      
   DW> My ISP stopped offering a news server years ago, so the code (and the   
   DW> numbering issue) became obsolete.   
      
   I have the C source code for Vsoup95/NT. I was going to fix a few quirky    
   little things wrong with it but no longer have the time.
