Yes it is, although I haven't seen any posts from "Tommy the Tourist" for several days, now. A test post sent a few days ago has still not shown up. Also, there seems to be some sort of

problem with soda's public key on chained remailings. Even when the Usenet gateway was operational, chained posts where the message to soda was PGPed seemed to go into the bit bucket.
Hmmmm...glad someone esle was having this problem. Before they moved I tried bouncing a chained message through soda (after using the CHAIN program to prepare it) and soda must have barfed on it as it never made it out the other end.
Also, FYI, Matt Ghio's remailer now offers Usenet posting as well.
Actually, in a couple of recent posts to the more obscure message bases in USENET I sent the posts first through ghio, then through hacktic, and from hactic through the gateway at news.demon.co.uk. The uk gateway seems to work flawlessly, so I'll figure on sticking with that as my anon gateway. You know how it is...once you find a remailer(s)/gateway combo that works, you tend to stick with it. I find lately i've been going with wimsey/hacktic/ghio and then out through demon.co.uk.....it seems pretty stable.
Well as of about 3pm EDT today they seemed to still be at ftp.soda.berkeley.edu as I scooped a couple of files from that site at that time.
Through the magic of dual entries in a Domain Naming server somewhere, no doubt. Next time, you might try the new "csua" name and see if that's working, too.
Yeah, I'll give that a shot and see what happens. By the way, anybody notice if the crypto archives at dsi.unimi.it are up? I haven't been able to get through all day (Sunday). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Terka | werewolf@io.org | public key (werewolf) by Toronto,Canada | dg507@cleveland.freenet.edu | public key server or request ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
