OT - news server
I've posted here and enjoyed both giving and receiving information, and had
much luck with the latter. We just got a dsl line, but the isp doesn't provide newsgroups. Can any of you recommend a good newsgroup server, preferably one that's solvent and has been around for awhile? tia, Keith |

Avoid Yottanews, Teranews and Bubbanews. Heavy binary downloading is another matter. |

I use news.individual.net, which is based in Germany and has an excellent and reliable feed. No binaries, though. They cost about 10 euros a year, if I remember correctly. -- Barbara Vaughan My email address is my first initial followed by my last name at libero dot it. |

Since I travel, and am *never* on their network, I just use Google Groups. |

Their retention rate is fairly good and I get all postings. If you're looking for free ones, try this site: http://freenews.maxbaud.net/ --- Mike from Ottawa |
