A search for "open news servers" should get you a list of news servers that you can use for free from TB. Remember that your posts will only show up on the news group, not on the listserv.
A search for "IBM mainframe blog" should give you some sites of possible interest. If you do sign up with a news server, check the bit.* groups. There might be comp.* groups of interest, but I don't know of any specific to IBM. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
