I have been trying to talk to someone in telstra about usenet and none
of the technical people I have spoken to know what it is, does anyone
know the name of an individual technical person in telstra that that
knows usenet that I can ask the case manager to find for me as they can
not find such an expert?

Yes, I had the same problem when on AOL [AMERICA ON LINE]. The kid I
was talking to, went away to talk to older staff. They then were full-
bottle on Usenet. As windows has Usenet as part of their EMail
application, that maybe the way to go i.e. tell them to familiarise
themselves with *all* the features of the EM client.

Seems like it, a search of the Internode website for "usenet" finds lots

of information, how to guides etc, same search of Bigpond finds nothing.
TPG site also has some info.

I don't think that Telstra has any "Older" staff left. They've all been

laid off and replaced by contractors.

But I don"t think it works
So far I have had answer from telstra that it has been discontinued then
a revised, it still exists, they are going to get their specialist pay
for service technical team to get in touch with me with the fee waived.

Lol, that question has been repeatedly asked for at least 15 years
that I know of. Good luck in your quest.

If you aren't getting what you paid for tell them that you want your
money back and that you are switching to another ISP.

You shouldn't.
I use 2 news servers, Internode and TPG and I am having a weird problem,
the thread about thermo fans appears on TPG but not on Internode?

No he's not. He's paying for access to the internet. News server access
isn't a guaranteed part of that.

If they promised him news server access as part of his "package" and
then pulled it after he signed up, *then* he'd have a case.

Threatening to go elsewhere and refusing to pay the bill just might get
their attention enough for someone to at least look into it.
They have such a poor reputation I'm stuffed if I know why anyone who
has another option would bother with them.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Telstra is a law unto themselves capable of quite
extreaordinarily ridiculous decision making that almost always never works
in favour of the paying customer.

Me too.
