Nope. Demon posts don't appear. Back E-S.

I hear your pain... I used to have a good newsgroup server provided by
my ISP (news.gil.com.au)... however that stopped talking to me a while
ago, and I've since resorted to Google Groups, which while usable, I'd
much rather use NNTP directly.

Anyone know of a decent newsgroup server that is open-access?

Well, Eternal September (was Motzarella) and AIOE are my 'backup' news
servers. Both are free. With E-S, you simply sign up. With AIOE, you
don't even have to do that - just change the name of your news server to
'nttp.aioe.org' (at least in Demon's 'Turnpike' news client). However,
neither allow binaries so, for NGs like
alt.binaries.schematics.electronic, I have to stick to Demon's own
server.
