A very kind reader sent me an email steering me towards
http://www.teranews.com/ who offers 50mB per day
at a one time cost of USD $3.95 to sign up.

Alas, I have no credit card, and the teranews folks have not replied
to my request as to how I could get the tiny amount of $3.95
to them without a credit card.

Anyhow, it seems my ISP may have fixed a problem, so I may not need
teranews.
I first thought $3.95 was wrong, and might have been $39.95, which still
isn't
much for something one values, but it is only $3.95.

You've been good to me:

It's not local to you but it's ISP independent.

Thanks for that, Chris. Added to my list of free news servers.

I just read their faq and hierarchies list, though, and find a couple
of downsides: strict requirement for valid reply addresses when
posting, and no alt.binaries.

For ISP independent, virtually free, nntp-based news, my best find so
far is Teranews. I can post as if I want, and get
good completion in abse and abpr always.

Cheers,
Peter

Well, at least we made the thread constructive...
I must admit though that the convict thing was funny coming from 2
Australians... considering the history... - Look at the bright side!
You probably have it already as uni-berlin has been providing it for some
while and it's quite popular.
For Patrick though - who has got a reply address - It's not a problem...

Thanks, I have bookmarked the site.
At present the group seems to be working OK,
so my polite letter accompanying an account payment addressed to the ISP
manager
from whom I gently asked for better service could have worked.
In the weeks prior to yesterday,
I think I was being told BS by a lowly employee fobbing me off with a BS
story
about a faulty upstream server.
I am allergic to being fobbed off, and to not getting a service which I
have paid for.
