I'm going DSL this month (QWest w/ MSN.com as ISP) and I understand that MSN
does not furnish Newsgroups.
If this is so, does anyone know where I can get free (or inexpensive )
Newsgroups...
. . . . in advance, thanks to one and all.

As a Comcast subscriber we get Giganews free for up to 1gb/month. They
have several pay services available for a nominal fee. I do 14 NGs and
1 is a binary group and I don't even DL 10% of my limit monthly.

Seems like you can use Google to read some of them too but I don't know
which ones they do or don't do.

One starting point:
http://www.google.com/search?q=free+newsgroups

Partway down page 1 is teranews.com, the free service I use when
verizon.net's newsserver is acting up.

I use this service, and it works great Outlook Express, and also with many
mail applications listed on the FAQ page. Great service, and posts
immediately as well.
