Do a search for "xnews". Free, and I've been very satisfied w/ it.

Go dowload Forte's Free Agent (it only allows one NG, however).

Or, if you want to really 'play' with a wide open program, download Xnews.

You can get information on all kinds of internet apps at cws.internet.com -
just look at the newsreaders.

Personally, I use Xnews.

I have been using Agent for years--very full-featured, fast, and
efficient. Look at it he

Exactly....I've been using OE for years w/o a problem. Call your provider to
find out if you've got the correct name of the news server.

Hi Bill- Where to start? It first started by me loosing NG's for
several hours but would always return. Next I lost email, some times
for days at a time.I always figured it was my ISP but support said
no.Next I lost all NG's and got an error message" 480 auth. required
".Checked with my ISP and all of my setting for mail were correct.Next
e mail went south and again my ISP said "It's not us".and setting
were correct.Adelphia support took me to links to fix OE on Yahoo but
it was like ****ing into the wind .
Thats about it

PS If you reply with a solution.please use my e mail

Try going to tools accounts and deleting all the accounts - Mail and News.
Reboot. Use your Windows explorer go to the PROGRAM FILES subdirectory. Look
for the outlook express folder it should contain a subfolder with all your
news groups listed, delete all newsgroups only, nothing else. Then recreate
the accounts again before you go online. That should fix it.

If you really want to zero in on a solution, you would want to get a
different ISP.
Your issues are problems with the servers, and the IT people at the ISP seem
unwilling or unable to cope. Not so rare, really, especially with smaller
ISP's.

sorry for lack of better news :)
