Sorry, I mentioned a user page at http://www.spywareinfo.com but said I
couldn't reach http://www.spyware.com. The first site is unreachable by
me but can be reached using anonymizer.com. Today samspade.org is also
unreachable so there is some problem with a host along the route that I
get stuck with (route are not dynamic for end users). When I tried
again to connect to http://www.spywareinfo.com but failed, and then
about 10 minutes later it worked (but the traceroute seems to look
different than before so I guess I now get a different route and that
one works).

The instructions at
http://www.forteinc.com/agent/faq.php#BB639CE8986FEDFC88256C1E005A25BE
still makes it evident that Agent has a problem handling multiple news
servers in forcing the user to manually create subdirectories to
separate the records for each news server along with editing and
maintaining separate copies of agent.ini, one for each news server.
This FAQ item doesn't state that it only applies to prior versions of
Forte. Users shouldn't have to be manually creating subdirectories and
making copies of an INI file to get the client to support multiple
servers.

Are you using Hamster to provide newsgroups to other users, or is there
some advantage in running your own local news server despite all the
hardware resources needed for it?
