   Well it works, but i think it is prone to making errors/problems. At least in   
   comparison to posting from the BBS, don't you think?   
      
   I keep it there for now, but i have removed port 119 from portforwarding into   
   my lan, as i want to offer the NNTPS port only. I don't see a problem in   
   offering the enrypted transport only.   
      
   Any other Newsgroup Reader out there beside Thunderbird?
