Thanks. It doesn't have as many groups as the Agent Premium News
service, but aioe.cjb.net works and is free. APN costs $2.95 per month
for a 12 GB account. I prefer free. (They have 4 levels of service,
the top one is $14.95 for unlimited, and these include access to
binary newsgroups, but I don't have interest in those.)


Just in case someone might be interested in a decent paid service,
here's the APN link. If you own the Agent newsreader/email program,
you can try it free for three months using your registration
information on the splash screen (accessible through the help menu
also).
