Thanks Mark.

Yes, it's a great nntp host. I used to poll news back home with
standard port. Didn't know that they have changed the port for swen
virus. Thanks for the info. Do you know any public server allows
posting too? I don't need all the ng or binary newsgroups.

thanks.

There's news.individual.net, (used to be news.dfn.de, or something like
that). You have to request an account, and I don't know if they have
nonstandard ports. You might google back thru alt.free.newservers and
see if there are any others.
