You discovered wrong -- Google does not provide a free newsserver. They no doubt *have* several newsservers, but don't provide direct access to them either free, or for a fee. They only provide a web interface to access the contents of their newsservers, with a fraction of the features that a real newsreader would. You seem to already have a newsreader -- you're using Opera, which includes a fairly good one, hidden away in the Hotlist/Panels/whatever- they're-calling-it-today. Other newsreaders I'd recommend are PAN and Forte Agent. So you just need a server. "pubnews.gradwell.net" still seems to exist -- it's free. Alternatively, "news.individual.net" offers a good service for a fairly low yearly cost. -- Toby A Inkster BSc (Hons) ARCS Contact Me ~ http://tobyinkster.co.uk/contact Geek of ~ HTML/CSS/Javascript/SQL/Perl/PHP/Python*/Apache/Linux * = I'm getting there! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
