My service provider, as well as others are eliminating carrying news groups.
Any suggestions as to what I can do to keep in touch with this one? Thanks.

Subscribe to another news service, free or commercial. Run a search on
"newsgroup servers".

My ISP is one that is dropping newsgroups at the end of this

I use giganews......they offer a number of levels of service. I use the

Check out news.eternal-september.org. It works for me.

It's free, no binaries.

they use they will reply "what's a newsgroup?". That is a verbatim
