Sorry for the late reply (busy busy busy) but I use Giganews, a commercial
US news server, which I can access no matter which ISP I am dialled up
through (good for the slaptop) - costs $US10 a month (which is about
$A457,429,579,231 the last time I looked).

Retention is good (three to six months on text groups) and you don't get the
problem of synching different servers with different ISP's.
