Home Connect/Cipherwave Usenet/Newshost server

[17xande]

Does anyone know anything about Home Connects or Cipherwave's Usenet servers?
In Home Connects Acceptable Use Policy they mention Usenet servers, but I can't find any information about this server.
I have tried news.home-connect.co.za but that did not work.

Cipherwave has almost the exact same wording in their policy but I also coundn't find any other info on their Usenet host.

I would also like to know if Home Connect has a local news server or if the IS server will work for example

I assumed it comes from the template they used and did not take it that they have their own news server. It is not the first time I have seen those type of terms in ISP documentation - it has been there for decades.

Dump some of the terms in google and you will see it comes from a template: https://www.google.com/search?q="Excessive+cross-posting+of+the+same+article+to+multiple+newsgroups"
