Sorry, since AT&T dropped Usenet, I haven't been on it as much- I will have to wait until Monday to ask parts- it isn't ringing any bells for me today....

Yeah, I am trying to get accustomed to google groups access as my AT&T uverse dropped Usenet.

It could be a 'code' used internally at the dealership. Just wondering.

Google Groups sucks. When Verizon cut their news service back to near uselessness I switched to news.individual.net. For only 10 Euros a year (about $14) news.individual.net provides fast, reliable news servers with almost zero spam. No binaries, however.

I also happened to notice there was no reduction in price for my service after losing usenet access.

sigh

Google is an extremely BAD way to read and post in newsgroups. It's also blocked by many newsproviders due to all the all the spam posted via GargleGropes. The majority of that spam is done by people from the "south asia subcontinent" (aka India) flogging Blogspot (also Gargle) sites to get "click money" from AdSense(another Gargle enterprise

You may want to look into:

(free, text newsgroups only as this one is)

Like others have said, avoid Google Groups. Someone posted the address to eternal september. I'm using that service now and, so far, I find it quite good.

I will definitely check out E-S.org soon.

thanx guys - I monitor 5-6 newsgroups and occasionally post to others as the need arises.

Shhh...don't tell anyone. It might overload the server...

Yup. Every once in a while it hiccups, but overall, it's great.

Another free (text) one is aioe.org But it only allows a limited number of lines quoted in any reply.

Sorry, but quoting is hosed for this reply so I added some >>>

Teranews has a free (for a one time $4.00 signup) Usenet service, binaries and text. 50Mb/day downloads and after some reprogramming early in the year, it is now quite stable. I also have a $5/mo account with newsrazor with something like a 5Gb/month bandwidth allowance, which seems to roll-over since I have 58Gb of capacity left this month. Fairly long article retention too.

Based upon the code they use the same system we do. Anytime it says "Kit" the dealership has gathered up several items to do a specific job, and assigned a number to them. Example being the oil separator plate behind the flywheel, it consists of 1 plate 5 of one bolt and one of another, all listed as individual parts on the Subaru parts breakdown. We have ours configured so that we can put in Kit 1234 and have all the parts for that job listed and priced as one unit.

Visit web site and register for free. No binaries but rock solid feed for text groups. It's my backup from the ever unreliable service by my ISP.

P.S. Google groups not just sucks, it's not a usenet to begin with.

Would the PKA40 be the same at all dealerships? What's in it?

carl

no, its dealer specific- call them and ask.
