av.rutgers.edu is now running the Netscape news server 2.0.

The old server had a crash last night, and its history file was
corrupted. I am going to recover all the posted articles and
repost them.

The other reason why I switched to Netscape News Server 2.0 is
that the temporary license for the original "dnews" server will
expire at the end of this month. But netscape news server is
free for educational use.

Since the netscape news server does not allow numbers in the
name of a newsgroup, the new name for the drei project is

drei.teachers.

and the corresponding url is:

news://av.rutgers.edu/drei.teachers

I am sorry for any inconvenience you may experience.

Thanks.
