Being it appears that "eternal-september.org" has gone off the air are there any suggestions as to
another free news server to replace it, and to help Forte Agent APN news server?

eternal-september has been down a couple of times in the last week, but
they're up now. I did have to re-log in on one computer though.

Where I am right now, E-S isn't in DNS any more!

I thought Ray Banana had already finished his server transition,
so any DNS screwups should be done with.

DNS problems sometimes take a few days to sort out.

Your message was posted at 10:26 EDT. I was getting that same result
when I was trying to read from E-S an hour or so earlier. But right
now (12:14pm EDT), they're back, and I'm getting articles from them.
So they were having some kind of temporary glitch.

Learn how to correctly configure your newsreader (Forte Agent). NOTHING of
what you meant to put into your signatue (instructions to send e-mail and
your fluff and possibly randomized quote) are in a signature because there
is no sigdash delimiter line ("-- \n"). Just wandering through the user-
configurable options in a program usually has you finding the appropriate
one to set.

For help on a free NNTP server, ask in the alt.free.newsservers group. If
you look at the headers of my post, you'll see which one that I use.

For help with your specific newsreader, the news.software.readers group
might provide help. I have never visited any of the forte groups to know if
they are of any value.

You shouldn't be so impatient.
