OK, a bit off topic but may apply to others at universities as they

systems.

So UPenn and Drexel have pulled the plug on their USENET news
servers. I'm looking for recommendations on newsgroup access,
preferably via GNUS, which many consider antiquated, as far as I can
tell, it is 10 times faster to read and post than using the fancy GUI
"modern" alternatives.

U Wisconsin did the same thing a couple years ago, so I dropped out of
newsgroups for awhile. Eventually, I went from a dialup connection to
DSL and discovered that my new ISP (AT&T) has a newsgroup service that
comes free with the DSL.

Depending on your ISP, you may have the same.
