access to this NG

Postby Kmee » Thu Nov 17, 2005 12:20 pm

I have been accessing this NG through eagle.america.net. I will no
longer have this since SBC does not support Usenet. What NG can I
subscribe to that would get me here?

Thanks.

Sorry for using the wrong terminology. I realize "xdsl" is the news
group name. And thanks for a server that will let me get there. Will
also look into servers that SBCglobal supports.

This is a News Group, you mean what News Server can you use to access
this News Group.

I think you have some bad information. MY service from SBC includes Usenet
access. I suspect it does everywhere.

When you say "don't support" do you mean don't have news servers or
don't help you figure out how to use them?

If it's the former, you need to purchase a subscription at one of the
many paid news providers. I use NewsGuy, but it's pretty mediocre
(I'll bother to research another one and change over when I get a
Round Tuit), but there are lots of others.

The folks who bring you the Agent newsreader have something called APN
for under $3/month at http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php ,
though I haven't looked at it yet...

SBC provides usenet access for their customers and likely carry this

group.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I did go to SBC's help but I
must not have used the right search word because I came up empty handed. I
now see that SBC has lots of NG's. My old favorites among them. <S>

Yeah, I thought it unusual that searching for "usenet" came up empty
too. Oh, well, as of tomorrow(?) they are AT&T. 8*)
