rec.woodworking has been a valuable resource to me over
the years. Regretably the University of Hawaii administrators
decided to end their support of the news service.

I'll try find another way to get back to rec.woodworking
in the mean time, keep on building with wood.

You could get in via

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.woodworking/topics

Alternatively, dags "free usenet" and you'll get hits on places you can get
free Usenet access, e.g., http://www.usenet.com/articles/usenet_free.htm has
links and info.

Not free, but good service. www.supernews.com

Access to all newsgroups and binaries. They do a pretty good job of
filtering most of the spam

Sorry about following up to my own comment, just wanted to add that I went
through the same thing when DirecPC (my former ISP) decided to drop
newsgroups because "nobody was using them" so they could offer more
services with that bandwidth. They never did add anything I could tell.

I use Verizon's news server since I have Verizon Fios. The newsserver
(IMO) is pretty good, certainly for text, and even for abpw. There are
many complaints about incompletes for some binary groups, but I have no
problems for what I do.

Hawaii used to have verizon. Don't know what you have now. I am in NJ.
Giganews is nuch faster than verizon, and you can get a 30-day free
trial.

Yeah, but he'd have to actually pay for it. Most schools provide internet
for free to staff. (your tax dollars at work)

Hi Bill,

I suffered the same fate a while back.

I searched around and found teranews.

http://www.teranews.com/

You have to register which is a one time fee of $5 to keep the rip raf
to a minimum and then you have free access. You are limited to 5 mb
of downloads per day with the free account, which should be good for
any text based usenet group. If you want to do significant binary
downloading then teranews is not for you.

Good luck

While the price for teranews is right, people have had mixed results.
When I used it after my ISP discontinued news service, teranews service was
spotty at best. Both the text news groups and binaries services were
on-again/off-again in terms of available. I initially attributed this to
the free service and tried the paid service -- same result.

My second survey of providers pointed to both GigaNews and Supernews as
highly reliable providers. I chose Supernews, others have recommended
Giganews -- you probably won't go wrong with either of them.
