About a year ago, my ISP dropped support for
newsgroups. I was about to
access the only 2 newsgroups I care about via my local university. However,
that was recently dropped as well. I only use 2 newsgroups:
alt.sys.pdp11
vmsnet.pdp-11
Does anyone still allow access? READ ONLY is acceptable, although I
would prefer to be able to may a post a couple of times a year.
Apart from google groups, which has been suggested already, there are
still several outfits supplying free usenet access, though usually
not to the binaries groups.
There's a list of lists here
http://www.google.com/Top/Computers/Usenet/Public_News_Servers/
But here's a free server for starters:
freebin.readnews.com
"Limited to 2 connections per IP, and rate-limited to dialup speed"
but for a those text groups I imagine you'll get by.
