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
