new ISP, no news server

Living in the last house on a dead end rural road has lots of advantages,
but good phone lines and connections to the Net aren't one of them. After
months of problems with one ISP I'm switching to one that doesn't seem to
have a news server. I'm pretty sure I can live without UseNet and it
without me g but are there other ways to access it besides your ISPs
server ?

There's Google Groups, but there are lots of alternatives.

Lots of pay Usenet servers out there... Also google has a web interface.

I use teranews free server. $10 setup charge never a fee again afterwards.
Its not great, but hey what do you expect for $10 for life.

P.S. There are tons of totally free ones that allow you to read, but not
post.

Maybe we can steer LaCourse, Dean, and Wolfgang to one of those. :-)

I have access to multiple news servers. I've found that Google serves
my purpose just fine.

I just subscribed to this one--a few minutes ago--and it's free, but for how
long I can't say.
