I've been trying to get anything from comp.unix.microport for
about a month now. It seems that except for a few sites with
different news routing, none of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area 
sites have gotten anything from comp.unix.microport. I haven't
determined yet whether the problem is in one of our main feeds or whether
its near the moderator end. We were getting it for a few weeks initially
so something has changed in the mail paths since then.

I completly area with Denis on this one. I'm not sure why this group
is moderated in the first place unless someone was afraid of more
Microport Advertising :-).
