I just load an additional copy of 1.91. I've never had more than one ISP's news server except shortly during a transition between ISPs, but if I needed that I would probably get the newer Agent. Ameritech had an "east"' and a "west" which I would change once in a while if one was dead. Seems every time I used more than one copy of Agent my logs and DBs got out of sync, confusing me. But whatever works. --Vic |
