Just thought I'd add to the discussion that panix.com will still sell you a shell-only account for $100/year, with mail and news, so that you can use your preferred older UNIX shell-based newsreaders, and they are committed news admins who are not going to discontinue/degrade their feeds. Steve

I've seen this one recommended if you want a free text-only newsgroups provider: http://www.motzarella.org/ If you'd rather have a cheap newsgroups provider that offers some access to the binary newsgroups, try this one but expect them to take a few days before starting to allow you to post anything: http://www.teranews.com/ "Martin Jensen" <hawkeye96@comcast.net> wrote in message...
