Motorcycle Forum / General / Sportbikes / May 2006Signing off for a bit...
Been having lots of trouble with my comcast cable modem service recently, so I picked up a DSL line and will be dropping the cable modem within the next week or so. And because DSL is cheaper, and makes up for that by being slower too, its icing on the cake feature is no newsgroup access. Such is life. So I'll be signing off for awhile, don't know when I'll pick up another ISP which has newsgroup access, or if I'll go out and just purchase access from another provider. Either way, I have discovered over the past week or two, I have more time when I don't post, I don't plan what I'm going to say while riding my recent 220 mile trip on the VStrom yesterday, and in general I didn't seem to mind at all. Plus family vacation is coming up, I have a cross country motorcycle/camping/scenery trip to start packing for, so I'll try and stop back in later in the summer to see how everyone is doing. > Been having lots of trouble with my comcast cable modem service recently, > so I picked up a DSL line and will be dropping the cable modem within the > next week or so.

Usenet is like heroin. You'll be back. Hehe. I'll miss your insights. And a big thanks for educating me about group rides. Not worth the risk.

Breaks are nice. Particularly in the summer where its better riding weather. > I'll miss your insights. And a big thanks for educating me about group > rides.

Who is this fly-by-nite ISP anyway?! I've got Verizon DSL. Yeah, I'm told it's slower thn cable but it's plenty fast enough for me, and a heck of a lot faster than dial-up. Well, Have a safe trip with the fam and all. Hope you get back online soon.  SignatureT.D.

They don't really offer themselves as an ISP, just a connection to MSN premium. Not sure what they offer, but I haven't really pushed too hard yet either. As long as I can get to internet in geneal I'm happy. > Well, Have a safe trip with the fam and all. Hope you get back online > soon. I'll be back later in the summer probably. Don't know how yet, but its nice not worrying about it right now. You can get newsgroup access with DSL... I'm doing it. Just let me know if you need help. As long as you can run Outlook Express, you can get newsgroup access.

How do I hook it to Usenet when the ISP doesn't offer access? And I hate what Google has done with groups....yick. > > You can get newsgroup access with DSL...

I use the account at home, work andeven have it set up at my parent's house in the event I'm there and want to check anythin out. I use Outlook Express. Other readers are supposedly better but for my purposes, OE is fine. > Been having lots of trouble with my comcast cable modem service recently, so > I picked up a DSL line and will be dropping the cable modem within the next [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > motorcycle/camping/scenery trip to start packing for, so I'll try and stop > back in later in the summer to see how everyone is doing. Have a good time. If you are around (I mean within 150-200 miles distance) let me know (leszczynscy at yahoo dot com). BTW AFAIK google offers pretty decent groups web based access ... no need for a special service ...

Giganews...nuff said...for someone like you the less than 10 bucks a month service is beyond sufficient. =) That said...have fun this summer!! -- Stephan 2003 Yamaha R6 >>Been having lots of trouble with my comcast cable modem service recently, so >>I picked up a DSL line and will be dropping the cable modem within the next [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >That said...have fun this summer!!

No binaries groups though so you will have to find the nudies elsewhere... > > Been having lots of trouble with my comcast cable modem service recently, > so [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > tried and only costs a whopping $10 per year...

This weekend, its shakedown ride through Rocky Mountain National Park. They open it up around Memorial Day weekend, and it opened early this year, plus its going to be 90F down here in the lowlands ( 6000' ). >Been having lots of trouble with my comcast cable modem service recently, so >I picked up a DSL line and will be dropping the cable modem within the next [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >motorcycle/camping/scenery trip to start packing for, so I'll try and stop >back in later in the summer to see how everyone is doing. Just take up Stephen Rose on his offer for GIGANEWS or do GOOGLE. It seems to work better than it used to. My cable has actually speeded up with a new modem @ $60 from COX. Almost 7KBps /.5KBps down/up loads and recently bought their HDTV service + DVR. I don't have to work so I might as well have a good cable setup.

Who to debate with now? Come back soon....enjoy the summer. Becky |
