I'll check out the one you suggest. I tried google but everything listed
seemed to have a charge attached to it.

It needs to be very cheap or free as I'm unemployed at this time.

Dee, how about this one for $29?

That's a program, not a content delivery service.

Forte offers Agent Premium Newsgroups (APN).
http://www.forteinc.com/apn/index.php
It's basically a front-end to Easynews.

12 GBytes $2.95 / month
25 GBytes $5.95 / month
70 GBytes $9.95 / month
Unlimited $14.95 / month

I don't download many binaries, so I'm happy with the 12 GBytes level.

OK, but the URL you gave was to the program. The URL for the service is
http://www.forteinc.com/apn/index.php and does NOT appear on the program's
page.

Hmmmm...I got to the APN site through a link on the Forte Agent site.

I have been using Forte Agent for quite a while. It is only a
newsreader and requires an external news service. Their "in house"
service, APM, runs about $15 per month.

For what I pay Comcast for internet access, an extra $15 a month is
not that expensive. My e-mail service costs about that much, if not
more.

It's just the principle of the thing, an "entitlement" so to speak.

Relevance to ham radio: it's how I keep in contact with r.r.a.m news,
and other hams on the two other groups, one hobby, one professional.
