We just got word back yesterday from velocet that they had made some
changes on their feed. I'm told the only solution is to start fresh
subscribing to the same groups.(let us know if that works please) I don't
know if we can save the text of the current subscribed groups and email
them to people. I am not sure if this applies to ppp news subscriptions
too.  Knowing where to post the announcement is the next problem, but if
ppp is affected too, email may be the best with a brief announcement for
text users in motd and for ppp the torfree.net home page login status
headers pointing to email details.
