Thanks for all the suggestions. I found an alternative source,
news.aioe.org. No user name or password required to
access their news server.

Same one I'm on. Works pretty well- good for free anyway.

USe regular nntp? I've been looking for an alternative to
bellsouth for a long time, as every once in awhile their
nntp server seems to get flaky.
I wouldn't be surprised if they follow the other big guns in
the biz anyway. AFter all, we're the new at&T, service with
a grumble, if we speak ENglish at all.



Richard webb,
replace anything before at with elspider

has a list of free servers, and you can search for ones that carry this
group.

new.aioe.org doesn't require a login as Mac said- and it isn't too bad.

Only carries posts for about 3 weeks though. Pay servers go back months, but
for me- it's good enough and I'd just as soon give my ten bucks a month to a
charity.

A lot of companies recently got rid of their newsgroups. My ISP, Time
Warner, just did, too.
