That still exists? Wow!

I would have thought it would have been moved to the SBC / Yahoo
conglomerate ages ago.

Remember, it's at&t, not AT&T. G

I thought Level3 owned the old BBN ASN now.

Don't you mean BBN Planet? They weren't bought/merged into AT&T, they
were merged into Level 3. But I digress.

Unless you get your newsgroups from the AT&T servers, that doesn't make much
difference.

Well, news.t-online.de honors cancel commands, and it's the news server of
Germany's biggest ISP, and since Germany is to the best of my knowledge on
the planet you are speaking of, that would qualify it as mainstream.

Some accept them from their own users but none accept them from other
servers so they are useless.

As a test I sent one one the message where I started this thread. Let me
know if it gets canceled on news.t-online.de.

Germany isn't even a blip on the Internet radar.

Now for the guys with "Heavy" experience. Does the 747 really only have
enough onboard battery power to last a little over an hour for the
flight deck?

That's already quite a while. How much battery power would you expect? The
aircraft is designed so that it should never have to get by on battery power
alone.

Well Mr. Aviation, the little 1320# plane I'm building should be able to
run without the alternator charging the battery for about 1.5 hours.
