The only people I know doing news are people running commercial nntp<br>
services. For my own froup requirements, I have been using Eternal<br>
September (<a href="http://www.eternal-september.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.eternal-september.org</a>) for some time, which has<br>
been fine for my largely lurking use patern, but it doesn't carry any of<br>
the binary groups, so if that's your bag then you'll need to point the<br>
client to one of the specialist services.<br>
