access- sorta OT

I have just been informed that my ISP has turned off their newsgroup server. Any suggestions on the best way to access the group??? I am doing this thru google, but it seems very clumsy compared to the way I could do it before. TIA Armand Vine snipped-for-privacy@snowcrest.net

this won't show on google - unless someone wants to quote it for me. i'm e-mailing it to Armand, also.

we have free usenet accounts for RAM, RCB, and callahan's participants. you just need to let me know you would like an account, and i can set you up with a name and password.

I recently bought a small group of antique African beads and I'm having difficulty identifying them.

Can any of you knowledgeable gurus help me.

I've numbered them on the picture posted to my website. Here's the URL

Hi Tony,

There is a mailing list that could probably help you out. I will post your query there for you. Good luck!

Ack! What ISP do you use? I would call them and complain, is what I'd do. Sometimes they'll tell you about some free alternative they aren't really advertising. I know that there is no way I would put up with an ISP that doesn't provide Usenet, since to me, Usenet IS the internet and the Web is that newfangled thing with pictures. This is what I pay for!

That's awesome! VJ, do you know the details of becoming a Usenet server? They're getting so few and far between that Mox and I have talked about having a free one for Portland, just like the olden days . I'd like to see the free Usenet movement spread and grow.

I have signed up with VJ and it appears to be working perfectly. As soon as I can get DSL I will change everything, probably pay VJ to host our web site as well. Thank you VJ. Armand
