Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / November 2005Anyone know a reliable, free newsgroup service? (teranews is dead)
Well teranews finally went down for the last time in my neck of the woods. A company rep. wrote me back saying the free service servers were dead but I could upgrade a fee server if I would like. No thanks. I'm using google groups for this post but really don't like thier format, not to mention the delay in getting current posts. Anyone know wherre I can sign up for a reliable, free newsgroup service? Thanks Jim It's not free but Usenet.com seems to do a very good job for $4.95 a month. I don't know if you can post pictures with it but you can see them just fine, it's also fast and keeps messages for months.

It does not allow pix but the news feed is very reliable and 92,000+ newsgroups to view. Call you comcast account rep and find out how to set it up >Earthlink.net's news servers are pretty reliable, and free sorta if >you're an earthlink.net subscriber.

Actually, I am still using Agent 99f (the 1995 version) and it has never failed me.

Other than a few unreliable sources, there aren't many free servers on the Internet these days worth accessing. Not a free option, but you may want to check out Newsguy.com if you get a chance. I picked up an account with them about a year ago, and pay about $3 month for newsgroup access. You also get 2 email boxes (something@newsguy.com) that I don't use, but may be of use to some. They offered a 2 or 3 day test account when I joined, and if they still offer it, they may be worth a peek. Vincent > >Well teranews finally went down for the last time in my neck of the > >woods. A company rep. wrote me back saying the free service servers [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Vincent how do you like it? It looks promising from their web site. It's now $5.95 a month but that's not all that bad really. Only thing is there's a 3GB cap, not sure if I would ever reach that or not though. nate OK, for those of us who really don't care how it works, as long as it works... why do you need a newsgroup service? Don't all ISPs provide newsgroups? I've had newsgroups through all the ISPs I ever had...some were better than others, but they all had alt.autos.studebaker, and most allowed pictures. So why do some want/need something different? >Well teranews finally went down for the last time in my neck of the >woods.

I'm sharing a connection with the other people that I live with, and apparently only the primary account holder has NG access. And I don't think you can access it from another connection (something nice about something like the old Teranews - I could access it from, say, a laptop in a hotel lobby.) nate > OK, for those of us who really don't care how it works, as long as it > works...
