You already have the "tools". You are using Agent 6. If your
easynews dont carry them (it should), then get a free news server such
as AIOE (that's what I'm using and I cna use them), or "Eternal
September" is another free news service provider. There are others
too. F**K Microsoft. The groups still exist and can be read from
your Agent newsreader.

Are you sure about that? I just tried accessing some Microsoft
newsgroups (microsoft.public.xxx), and the server seems to be nonexistent.

From news.planet.nl(my provider):hundreds of them.
