Most Emacs related group are hosted here. As for two groups you mentioned, you can use news.cn99.com. It's a free Chinese news server carrying many groups, including two groups you mentioned. And posting is allowed. You can use sites like http://newzbot.com to find news servers carrying your groups, and compare the speed. I use leafnode (local news server) to connect to news servers. It's must faster to read with Gnus. Another benefit is I can archive messages in my computer for easy access, esp. easy searching. Most news servers (maybe all except for Gamen?) have retention not so long, so you can read only recent messages. If you need to dig something in the history, you need to use web like Goole groups (only if they are archived). I'd rather archive them in my own box. -- Numquam minus solus quam cum solus _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
