AT&T has not (yet) made any changes that I am aware of.


Do you access any of the alt.* newsgroups, or just the big-8
ones:

comp.*,
humanities.*,
misc.*,
news.*,
rec.*,
sci.*,
soc.*,
talk.*,

As I understand it, AT&T is still carrying the big-8 newsgroup
hierarchies above, but has dropped all of the others -- especially the
alt.binries.* ones.

So -- if all you read is the big-8 newsgroups, you will be fine
for the moment with AT&T.

For now,
they have an excellent Usenet service, the main reason why I am
still one of their customers.


Whatever works for you.

Enjoy,
DoN.


They picked up some new alt. groups , but not the one I was watching .
