   Hello comp.os.vms collegiates,   
      
   I was wondering if anyone was aware of global outages with the   
   Eternal-September Newsgroup service?   
      
   Of course, if there was a global outage, and you use ES, then you   
   would not be reading this post.   
      
   My main Usenet setup these days is using Mozilla Thunderbird, with ES,   
   however, for the last day or two, it has been failing to connect to   
   the server, although the https:// website is accessible.   
      
   However, I have my old Forte Agent, using NGD (NewsGroupDirect) as a   
   backup, hence this post you are now reading.   
      
   Any reports welcome.   
      
   Thank you.
