What is the news reader of choice for those of you who use AstraWeb?

Lew,

I also had to find another newsgroup provider due to AT&T's dropping of the
service. All that I did was to set up my new Astraweb account in Outlook
Express replacing the AT&T account. I also set up Thunderbird for newsgroup
access on another PC.

So far, I am very pleased with the service. There's only one puzzling thing
that I haven't been able to find an explanation for yet. On occasion, while
viewing a newsgroup, I will hear a pinging sound. Sometimes it's only for a
few times and at other times it gets so annoying that I simply turn off the
sound. This happens with both Outlook Express and Thunderbird, so it must be
something either related to the service or how I'm using it. (Perhaps
someone replying to your post may have an idea as to what that's all about.)

Peter.

A simple me too. Xnews has been it for me since Netscape messed up around
version 6 (???).
