Specificaly Full news feed without loss of feed data ? > tnx ..je You mean, like, what speed connection to the Internet? Assuming you wanted *,!*binaries*, and you had an upstream host that was using innfeed, I would imagine you could do an inbound feed on an ISDN connection. However, Usenet is largely cooperative. You can generally buy a feed from your upstream provider or get it included as part of your package. Most midsize sites still want two or three complete feeds, however, and the price that you pay for that is that you must in turn feed those sites :-) That's the Usenet paradigm, and all my feeds are done this way. I run half a dozen feeds (bidirectional) on news.sol.net and I use up 34 minutes of T1 time per hour (or 34/60 of my bandwidth) on news traffic currently. This includes a full *binaries* feed, and it is interesting to note that I push a lot more out than I take in. I run dozens of feeds (bidirectional) on spool.mu.edu, and I often saturate the T1. That does not include any *binaries* groups. ... JG
