"NNTP-Posting-Host: 204.174.243.204" appears in both messages, and a
simple lookup tells me that they belong to direct.ca.

Your real username appears in the Path on the first one.

and the direct.ca newsfeeds are the first ones I believe. Still, it's
better than I can do (basically, nada 8') ).

Oh yeah, wheres your

ObHack: Uh, errm. Make that ObHackToCome: We're gonna put in a second
phone line for the computer. I still want to use things the way I have
them hooked up through modem, answering machine, and then phone. The
phone has to be able to be switched between both lines, but the modem
has to connect to line 2. So I took an extension coupler... and my
brother took it away from me. HE opened that sucker up, teased the pins
out, and switched the lines around (you have to use the right kind of
coupler, some don't have the crimp-on pins attached to a short piece of
wire). So, as soon as line 2 is hooked up, just run it through that,
through the modem, then a line 1-2 switch (which is now reversed),
through the answering machine, then through the phone. Whew!

The important thing is to make sure that all connections (except the
last one, to the phone) are made with 4-conductor wires.
