I've used Rema and Park patches for years without a single failure. What
brand do you use?

I use Agent with my ISP's (Cox) news server. It's always been great;
my posts always showed up _immediately_ if I retrieved new headers
after posting. Now it's suddenly taking 12 hours, very predictable,
and I'm just wondering whether others see my messages quickly or
not.

I was thinking I'd try one of the free servers.

I've used news.individual.net for years with no problems. Happy as a
