This newsgroup

How please do others obtain this newsgroup? I have been using
Agent as a newsreader on my current server but I am changing servers
and the new one tells me they do not have a news group service. I
have been advised to try http://news-reader.org but when I do, and
find my way through to this group I get : 'There is no recent messages
in this group'. Is there a direct source somewhere to which I could
go?

From two news servers
1. My ISP's news server
2. APN -- http://www.forteinc.com/apn/index.php

You can find it on nntp.aioe.org for free, but checking there I see
they have 68 posts for the period from 27 December whereas I have
around 230 posts for the same period -- so their completeness does
not look good. I guess you pay for what you get.

If you want a *good* news service and your new ISP does not have
one, you may get better results with a pay news server. If you
want text groups only, some people say news.individual.net
(http://news.individual.net) is good and only €10 per year.
I don't use it so I can't comment on it.

I use them and can recommend them. 10 Euro is about AUD$ 17, per
*year*. Well worth the money.

Aioe is free and pretty good.

Download the browser Opera.
It has news and mail - and guess what?
A fully working list of newsgroups :-)

Got it - thank you - but it brings up messages grouped by topic
(and this topic first) - I would prefer them to come up listed by
date, most recent on top. Should I be able to change settings somehow
to achieve that? My careful poking around has not yet shown me how.

That looks promising - I will try for it.
