Default OT. Freeware news server for reading and posting to this ng? TIA


Greetings.

I'm looking for a good, reliable freeware news server that at least
allows me to read this newsgroup or one that allows me to read and post
to this newsgroup that it's not google.

Thanks.

Take care.

Have a look at news.aioe.org

Their AUP / usage guide is here :

http://news.aioe.org/article.php3?id_article=2

Free to read, but a limit of 25 posts per day to prevent spammers.

That's what I've been forced to use (as stupid ISP got rid of usenet
access). It seems to be good. I've been using it for about a week
now.

Good to know re the 25 post limit. I don't have a problem with that,
myself, but good to know.

There's a free news server group that would answer your question.
