Service has always been great.? Been with them since the days when

tin will work, but it's recommended by Hoff and others. It's free and

Apparently tin will work. It's listed under their "FAQ" section as
possibly needing a special tweak.
tin
add the following line to the .newsauth file in your home directory
(or create the file, if it doesn't exist) and make sure the file is
only readable and writable for your user (chmod .newsauth 600):
news.eternal-september.org password username
and start tin with the -A option

I?m sure.? I just need to figure out how to get access, preferably
with ?tin'.? One of the reasons I dropped off was time, another was
my ISP dropping USENET access.
