Hello folks, I haven't been on for a while as my broadband supplier,
yes bloody Wanapoo is still giving me grief and after moving house,
they still haven't sorted my account out and got BT to change my number
yet, so i'm on dial-up at present, well until the 20th when I hope to
be back on broadband.
Anyway i'm sending this message via Google Groups as my Outlook Express
account has stopped working. Well I've been using that "news/info.net"
account as recommended, but now that's stopped working and all I get is
an error message saying "502 you have no permission to talk. Goodbye.
No server error.
So it looks like i'm stuck with Google, unless there's something else I
can do?

There are free newsgroup servers out there, google might turn up something,
or worth asking in another group ?

Yep! It appears they have realised that lots of people are using their
server free of charge. Time to find another.

Well I can access this newsgroup fine via Google, but it's quicker via
my Outlook Express account, so if anyone comes up with another server
to use, please let me know?

Try using this ip as your newserver on outlook (dont use username or password)
It has low retention but will keep you going!
222.185.245.245
I can't remember whos server it is but it does seem to hold a few odd groups!

Well the good news is it's allowing me to view newsgroups, but the bad
news is it isn't allowing me to post any messages. :O(

Okay giving that a whirl now and after inputing my user name and
password (never had to do that before) it seems to be downloading the
messages. Hopefully i'll be able to post too?
