Is Dialog not time-limited anymore? It doesn't say so any longer on its
download page, so I assume Marcus has removed that restriction. If so, that
is good news, and would mean Dialog is no longer OT in this newsgroup.

However, the OP may want to know before wasting his time that Dialog is
still (and apparently will forever remain) beta software.

Looking forward to trying Dialog once it is no longer a beta. (Yeah, right!
Like that'll ever happen.)

See 40tude Dialog's Pricelessware 2005 description:

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2005/PL2005INTERNET.php#0009-PW

"The time limitation has been removed (beginning with v 2.0.9.1 (Beta 32))."

I'm using three separate news feeds that are provided by my ISP using
the news function of Thunderbird. I'm fairly sure that Thunderbird can
be configured to also accept multiple news sources from different IPs.

Same goes for Xnews, which many people like a lot.
