Anybody got a list of the local NNTP servers in SA?

Im not on IS, so I cant use news.is.co.za.

Thanks

I cant recall with 100% certainty but I'd guess they're news.saix.net and news.uunet.co.za - I do recall with 100% certainty that they suck.

UUnet works fine - thanks

Fine? In terms of what? Certainly not binaries (unless something has drastically changed).

EDIT - just checked and it didnt have a single binary that I was looking for. If you're on an uncapped UUNET account might I suggest a paid news server like easynews or giganews?

Dont need binaries. Just some of the other discussions I wish to take part in.

Ok - in that case there is also google groups if you have uunet probs.
