Unfortunately, the way Usenet works, some servers take everything fed to them,
and others filter on whatever they feel like filter on.

We send everything out, and yes, I did ask Wirt to check on the feed as there
were changes made in network topology and location.

Lastly, there is only one authoritative News Server for HP3000-L, and that
happens to be our gateway, and we are not opening that for public use, at least
not at this time.  We only keep 7 days worth of postings there anyway.

If your newsfeed is not picking up comp.sys.hp.mpe -- check dejanews.com.  If
it's there, and not on your newsfeed, then your ISP is slow, or is not picking
up our feeds.  Either way, I would complain, if your ISP is not reacting fast
enough.  Most feeds are picked up within 30 minutes.  2nd and 3rd tier ISPs
sometime take a bit longer (several hours).

Sorry you are having problems, but these cannot be attributed to the gateway.
It's functioning well.
