Try asking Peltio on it.cultura.linguistica.inglese; he's the only other person I've noticed who uses
Infostrada, and he doesn't seem to be having all this trouble.
In the meantime, try 
news.megasys.it
: it's a public server so you'll have no problem accessing it (good
advice received from Peltio a long time ago).

My computer is sick.  I think my modem is a carrier.

Infostrada, and he doesn't seem to be having all this trouble.
Not on Icling anymore, since they learned to tell a server from a washing
machine.
But I still experience serious feed problems on international NGs, most
notably on comp.soft-sys.mathematica: I received e-mails from people
responding to a query of mine that I could not even see on the IOL server
(and never appeared, but was on Deja, together with several other messages I
had never seen on the server).
On march 8, 1999 (I still have the e-mail in my sent box) I asked to the
newsmaster the reasons of this problem, and if it was possible to solve it.
Six months later I am still waiting for an answer.
And I am waiting for an answer to a further inquiry concerning my request
for a refund (actually I'm going to declare void (??) the contract) due to
problems experienced during a period of nearly two months with the NG
server. It's three month I'm waiting for that (again I still have the mail
and the receipt stating they got it the day I sent it). It seems that IOL
have some sort of difficulty in answering to its subscribers.
So much for the problems I don't seem to have.
To be fair I must admit that the navigation is not that bad after all, but
not being able to access one of the two NG I like the best is too much of a
limitation. Also, they should care a little bit more (this is an euphemism)
for their customers.
cheers,
Peltio

I see Sabrina also uses Infostrada - do you have the same problems with slt?
I currently use either Mclink or Iunet as my server carries both; neither is
100% reliable, but usually when one isn't working the other is, and messages
always arrive eventually on both of them, though sometimes a couple of days
late.
There's always Dejanews as a last resort, but it's terribly slow.
I forgot to say that 
megasys.it
 only carries Italian NGs, but I suppose that was
obvious.

Early to bed, early to rise is a sure sign the modem is broken!

My computer is sick.  I think my modem is a carrier.
If you ask it, and it denies it ('No carrier'), your modem is probably
dead.(;-)
