    Hi guys, as the title suggests, Im looking to get started on Usenet. Ive done some homework on the subject, and Im aware (as far as I can See), that I need two things;

    1) newsgroup reader software
    2) paid access to the usenet servers.

    Theres so much info out there, that Im bogged down in it now and not quite sure where/how to proceed. Ive heard Grabbit is a good basic reader, but where/who are good for server access?

    Any info would be appreciated guys.
