Free NNTP servers?

PiE · 2003-05-05 03:10:17

Using UTV's NNTP server you only get a couple of hundred Microsoft groups and a few utv ones. Are there any decent free servers with feckloads of groups? Search on google turns up loads of them, but they're mostly small and/or orientated to one subject. Cheers...

Probably better to just mail them and ask them to host more groups.

They won't. They claim the cost is too much to get a usenet feed in for a small minority of users.

The utv.support group actually mentions a few public access news servers.
