So, I finally got my DSL up and running, but realized I no longer have access to my old news server (ATT). I remember someone mentioning http://news.cis.dfn.de/ as a good ns, which I've emailed already. Anyone have any other suggestions because SBC's news service blows? -- Slacker

It's what I use and it's cheaper than NewsGuy. No porn groups, but if you can accept that it's a fine service. Matt

I'd never checked to see whether the porn groups were there, though. ;-) -- -BB- To reply to me, drop the attitude (from my e-mail address, at least)

I won't pay for a news server. >Anyone have any other suggestions because SBC's news service blows? I got Qwest DSL in February and their news server is at least as bad if not worse than Prodigy's. At the moment, I'm downloading a DivX movie (Rabbit Proof Fence) through a dozen free or open news servers simultaneously; my DSL line is max'd out at 75KB/s. Some of the free news servers I list towards the bottom of http://www.nyx.net/~bkraft/ -- Brian Kraft Grand Junction -- Brian Kraft Grand Junction

Thanks for the tips (all of you), but news.cis.dfn.de hooked me up in under 48 hrs and the service seems to be at least as good as I had....excellent! I'll keep Newsguy on file for future reference should I did it. -- Slacker
