I use Teranews.com for my Usenet account, and have two accounts

dozen or so computer usage groups, however.....
For the past few days, this second account has been timing out,
so I've got no access to these groups.
The first account works, but (as you're probably aware) there's
very little activity on any of the general groups, some but not
much![snip]
You might wish to try other free USENET servers.
Two list of free servers are:
http://www.newzbot.com/
http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Usenet/Public_News_Servers/
Two providers I've used occasionally and have generally good thins about
http://www.aioe.org/
http://www.eternal-september.org/
I personally use the "text only" option of supernews.com - a paid server
but reliable and trouble free.
Thanks for the suggestions, Richard. Eternal-September is an oft
mentioned UseNet server, which I might have to investigate if I cannot
get my free.teranews.com (or rather the 69.16.185.252) account going again!
I paid $3.75 for my account on the server, but as that was about 10
years ago, I suppose I cannot bitch too much!!
