My verizon service is ending access to this newsgroup (rumered for somtime now). Does anyone know of a new service/location for this stuff? > My verizon service is ending access to this newsgroup (rumered for > somtime now). Does anyone know of a new service/location for this > stuff? I hear names go by -- the one that sticks is "supernews". Have you tried a web search? "USENET server" or "USENET service provider" may get you some hits. There's Google Groups, but if you go there you just become one with the spam problem.

Does anyone know of a new service/location for this >> stuff? >I hear names go by -- the one that sticks is "supernews". I subscribe through Supernews (now owned and operated by Giganews). I also have an Astraweb account ($10 for 25 gigabytes, no time limit--goes a long way with text-only newsgroups!). This page lists some free news servers as well as lots and lots of pay-for-play: http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=faqs:news_providers I try to keep the page up to date, but there is no guarantee that all of the links work.

Does anyone know of a new service/location for this stuff? There are plenty of independent news carriers, some of them are even free. I've been using http://www.eternal-september.org/ since they were previously known as http://www.motzarella.org. The service has been excellent. The only caveat is they don't carry binary groups, but for those of us who are discussion-group users it works perfectly, and costs nothing....

Thanks for sharing the wealth in such a usable format-- very much appreciated!

Does anyone know of a new service/location for this stuff? The correct answer is (has been posted here many time not so long ago): news.eternal-september.org They require free registration though.

I've used Google to tide me over from time to time. I enjoy having a newsreader to help organize what I'm looking at. I've plunked down money a couple of times to keep up with Agent. There are lots of other newsreaders out there: http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=faqs:news_readers Marty SignatureBig-8 newsgroups: humanities.*, misc.*, news.*, rec.*, sci.*, soc.*, talk.* See http://www.big-8.org for info on how to add or remove newsgroups. > My verizon service is ending access to this newsgroup (rumered for somtime > now). Does anyone know of a new service/location for this stuff? go to www.eternal-september.org and sign up (it's free) instructions will be there for what you need to change your reader's account settings to (from verizon to eternal-september)... pretty painless and free...
