Yes, I do the same, but that doesn't solve the problem of being able to get to my news router from the office.
SSH/slrn a la Chris Johnson would be a partial solution, but I wouldn't know how to keep slrn in synch with Thunderbird. I could switch to slrn entirely, but... It just doesn't seem like I should have to. Received on Thu Aug 17 2006 - 11:31:35 CDT
