posting from google this time

I ususally read/post through teranews.com - tonight, can't find
server, and a ping of teranews.com fails, as does a ping of the ip
address (66.150.105.47) - presuming this is a real failure, what other
really cheap news servers are out there - I don't need 20 gigs per
month - maybe I would use 1 meg per month - since I don't access
binary groups -

is there anyone on a teranews account who is getting access tonight?

what other servers might I add to my suite so I don't need to use this
horrible google interface ( guess it's better than nothing)

note - don't reply to me using the email in the header, I don't
monitor that account - maybe this is of some general interest to the
group

well, teranews is back - looks like it was off line for a while, now
I'm resynchronizing messages - we shall see what happens - it still
might be nice to have another free source of NTTP messages.

Teranwes was advertised a a free NNTP server that is used to test
NNTP software and hardware. The same company has other NNTP servers with
monthly fees.

If you have broadband, your ISP may have a NNTP news server included in
your account: http://www.usenettools.net/ISP.htm

sadly, my ISP dropped newsgroups over 5 years ago, that's when I
subscribed to Teranews - they said I was the only client using news
groups....
and teranews is off the air again today

Thank you, Michael, for taking a load off my mind. I just moved to
Teranews three days ago, for the same reason, Verizon dropped all but
the "Big Eight", and I was beginning to think that I was doing something
wrong. I guess I'll just have to wait for them to get their act together.
