About to lose news group access, looking for info

For the last 3 or 4 years I have had no problem reading and posting
here. Now my isp, AT&T, is dropping support for newsgroups.
I am looking for suggestions as to how to keep being able to use this
group. It would also be nice to again have access to binary groups which
AT&T dropped about a year ago.
If it matters I am using an iMac running OS 10.5.7 and have a DSL
connection.
Thanks, Bruce

I went from AT@T to "free.teranews.com" a few months ago and have had no
problems with set up or connections.....

I also have had no problems with hitting their limited daily download
limit. They support binaries and have a good retention time... RCC
currently has 154,068 active messages going back to 6/10/2005. ABPN only
goes back to 11/12/2005 with 56 messages...

I am using Motzarella and it is great. No binaries, though.

I've happily used Gradwell for some time. It's low price, but no
binaries.
They offer lots of other services too (way above my head) that might
perhaps be of interest ...

easynews, 10 bucks a month with an onlines service for binaries with NO
overhead.

Thanks for the information. It looks like I will give free.teranews.com
a try.
Always like something that has "free" in it!

There is always http://groups.google.com which I use.

A couple of years ago, Earthlink outsourced Usenet to Supernews, and
it never worked for many Earthlink
customers in areas where Earthlink resells the local phone company's
DSL service. Even with my valid
Earthlink username and password, I get

Error reported by Server: 502 Permission Denied-Service restricted to
EarthLink member networks

The only solution is to pay Earthlink an additional $10 a month for a
fixed IP address, which they
would then add to Supernews' allow list.

I've had the same for about 8 years. Very solid.
