I stopped using a newsreader for comp.lang.ada (emacs with gnus,
namely) only when my stupid ISP stopped providing NNTP support.
Unfortunately, all other ISPs where I live did the same. I would
gladly revert to using emacs if given the chance.

It is already a mailing list; please refer to my initial announcement
for a pointer to the subscription page.

I've been using news.tornevall.net for some time, but I don't remember how I
signed up for it. If you contact them via their contact page
(http://tornevall.net/?load=contact) they'll probably assist you; they are happy
to communicate in English.

HTH.

Indeed, the sad state of nntp servers is certainly a hurdle. My ISP has a
news server, but it's so unreliable as to be folly to use it; you lose half
the discussion. I'm actually paying for a text-only news service.

But I have just read the post from Simon which looks great. When I started
subscribing I couldn't find any decent free server.

FYI, the new group has been created and can be found in gmane servers as

gmane.linux.debian.packages.ada
