My ISP is dropping the news server that gives me access to this
rec.arts.movies.tech news group

Are any of you accessing this group in any other manner?

Is there any way to get access through a Web page URL?

I would appreciate any suggestions.

I use Forte as my news server. http://www.forteinc.com/apn/index.php
It's only $2.95 a month. Excellent service, fast, hardly ever any down time.

There's a free server at http://www.eternal-september.org/ but I don't know
how good it is. I do know that they don't have the binary groups.

The only web access I know of is Google Groups, and that sucks--goes down a
lot, lots of spam, etc.

See my direct reply via email.

I recommend Eternal September for text based newsgroups, it's free. For
binary newsgroups nobody is better than Giganews and they include text
based newsgroups as well.

I have the 25 GB plan for $10 from AstraWeb (http://www.astraweb.com).
If all you ever access is text-based newsgroups, this will last you forever!
