I have windows 98 and ISP is MSN


According to a CNET article, MSN has dropped Usenet newsgroups from its
servers. http://news.com.com/2100-1023-237194.html?legacy=cnet

That means that you would have to either read and post to this (and
other)
newsgroup(s) at Google Groups or you would have to buy a subscription to
a
news server like New Guy https://reg.pathlink.com/cgi-bin/sub_form or
Supernews http://www.supernews.com/

Google is free but sort of slow and awkward and doesn't have any binary
posts. Speed, user interface, and binary access might not be important
and
Google Groups is probably better than WebTV.


She could also subscribe to newsgroups thru the free German server. I
know
they've recently changed their URL but you might try news.CIS.DFN.DE

Unless you've used both Google groups and Webtv you have no way of knowing
which one is better.

Well Kathy, if you read my message you would have noticed that I said
"probably better." That is a clue that I am speculating.
