Does any one here know of a Free usenet > nntp server I can access? news.sunsite.dk has been serving me fine for several years now. I heartily recommend it, as it also supports authentication, so you can use it from everywhere around the globe, as long as you keep your `~/.authinfo' file around. It does not carry *all* the groups that some servers may have (IIRC the alt.* hierarchy is not supported), but my current `~/.newsrc' file includes comp.emacs comp.lang.c comp.lang.lisp comp.mail.sendmail comp.std.c comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc comp.unix.programmer comp.unix.solaris gnu.emacs.announce gnu.emacs.help gnu.emacs.gnus and all these groups are supported by this server.
