He has no way of connecting to them, ergo, can`t use their newsgroups :-}

AIUI, blueyonder users can connect to the by text server and internal groups
from any ISP, as long as they authenticate.

Hi,

Yup, def. co-ax. And all sorted now. eBay, 9.90 + 5 carriage!

We had 6 people using it, with no drop in speed - there are very few BY
users near us, so there was no real drain on it.

How long 'ex'? It's only in the last year or so.

You will only find the by groups on the by newservers.

news-text.blueyonder.co.uk - text only and best for by groups
news-blueyonder.co.uk - main server
news-lhr.cableinet.net - test binary server (it rocks but they're moving it
soon :-(
fe1.news.blueyonder.co.uk - hmmmm, read only I think...

Authentication from outside by is possible on a couple of them but I can't
remember which, sorry.

Several years. Not long after they withdrew the "free internet calls for
life cable-to-cable" for non-telewest ISPs, and their flat refusal to dig
out my original contract which I believe had it written on.

Between that, their failure to fix one of my two phone lines for ~6
months, and incorrect billing, i`d had enough - I was forced back to BT !
