Default news server

My news server, Cableone Newsgroup Service, identified as
news.cableone.net is no longer available and I can`t access my
newsgroup. My newsreader, Outlook Exp.was, of course, connected to
this server. I`ll have to subscribe to another server and I want to
keep Outlook Exp. Please advise.



msnews.microsoft.com for Microsoft newsgroups.

I have news.aioe.org for a backup NSP; however, as I recall, you get
only 20 posts max per day and the owner also employs non-RFC compliant
anti-spam measures, like requiring the FollowUp-To header be specified
when replying to crossposted messages. individual.net is about $12
per year which is pretty cheap. Text newsgroups only. If you want
one that includes binary groups then you'll probably have to look at
commercial (paid) newsgroup service providers (NSPs).

Go ask in alt.free.newsservers for other free NSPs.
