The group is hosted on panix. My domain and mail server is on NetSol, but my news server = the one I connect to - is newsgroups.comcast.net. Sorry, Phil, I forgot that this was a moderated group and thus all postings appear to come from Panix. In that case, you will need to find yourself a new Usenet provider. Patty |

Newsgroup servers?
In m,
Steve Bonine typed, for some strange, unexplained reason: [snip] : Another alternative that I don't think anyone has mentioned is access : to newsgroups via the Google interface. Being able to use a real news : reader is well worth 10 Euros per year to me. : : 73, Steve KB9X Hmm. Personally, I wouldn't recommend Google for newsgroup access. It's clunky to use and seems (from the posts of those I've seen in other groups) to encourage top posting and not snipping repeated text, both of which are personal dislikes of mine. I also use individual.net and it fits the bill nicely for me. 73 Ivor G6URP |

King of like Outlook, eh? grin Seriously, it's a matter of personal taste. Most people who have used a real news reader hold Google in contempt as a way to access Usenet, but some folks like the interface . . . just like some folks love to work contests and other folks think they're a plague. |

Newsgroup servers?

... Hi everyone: "Dee Flint" wrote in message . .. Can anyone recommend a free newsgroup server? Comcast just sent out an email that they are discontinuing newsgroup access effective October 25th. Try http://www.open-news-network.org/ You may have to run it through Google's Translator site to get it to where you can read it properly, but they are the only ones I know offering free USENET access. Another one that's being talked about on the alt.online-service.comcast newsgroup is Motzarella. The website to this service is @ http://www.motzarella.org/ Good Luck.

I just hope Comcast reduces their cost but I doubt that they will. I'll certainly make a fuss about it if they don't. Dee, N8UZE |

Can anyone recommend a free newsgroup server? Comcast just sent out an email that they are discontinuing newsgroup access effective October 25th. You do know you can access many free newsgroups sources on the web, don't you? ... such as Google ... etc.... Ed |
