ISP Wanted

[Guest Lou]

I know this is not the right newsgroup to ask this question, but my ISP will

no longer provide me access to newsnet newsgroups.

I need a low cost ISP that provides access to newsnet newsgroups.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You don't need a new ISP, just a free Usenet server.

Note three things:

 

1. Hardly any ISPs are available all the over the world. Some are

national, some are local to a particular city, etc. So someone else's

recommendation may be of no use to you at all.

 

2. Although newsgroups are available through many ISPs, newsgroups are

also available separately. You can subscribe to a newsgroup service

that has nothing to do with your ISP. Some excellent one are available

on a pay basis, such as supernews (http://www.supernews.com), others,

which may carry fewer newsgroups or impose other limitations, are

free. A Google search can provide you with many choices. So although

changing ISPs may be a choice for you, it's not the only choice and

you should investigate the alternatives.

 

3. These Microsoft newsgroups are all available for free on the

Microsoft news server msnews.microsoft.com, which is the *best* place

to get them, even your ISP's news server also carries them. And just

in case you're not aware of it, Outlook Express, which I see you are

using, lets you easily use multiple news servers.

nntp.aioe.org is a free newsserver (altho' I think there is a posting

limit of approx. 25 per day)
