I don't care about alt.* but we need the big 8 There are a number of free servers. aioe.org is one. There are several _better_ ones at very nominal cost. e.g. news.individual.net at, I, think, 10 Euro per year. There is also Astraweb -- see -- who charges US$10 for 25gb of data. or US$25 for 180 gigs. The account expires _only_ when you use up the download allocation. *NO* time limit. I know people that have had the $10 account for _years_, follow only a handful of groups, and skip over a lot of the articles in the group. They've hardly made a dent in their 25 gig allotment. between 100 and 200 megs in like four years. They figure their $10 will last 'close to a lifetime'. a 'pay' server is almost always better than a free one. Its usually easier to get a response if there's a problem. Astraweb is one of the best of the 'very low cost' servers.
