The gateway is currently gone, as I understand it, because the
gateway's owner's changed news providers. The original provider
allowed a gateway. The new provider was supposed to do so, but reneged
on this.

Someone needs a news provider and machine that can be the gateway.
Maybe we should see about twisting someone's corporate arm to do so ;)
