I used news.cis.dfn.de a while but changed to arcor-news later because of
the now charging at news.cis.dfn.de
Arcor is still free and fast, no reliable problems. You must have a Arcor
login but this is even a free mail-account. If you like I can you send
instructions where. I don't know it just if the head.
Maybe they filter not-german clients out via your IP-address. But why not
give it a try?

So, you being a *nix user, I can't see you getting excited about doing
usenet 'text work' with a bloated cartoon interface. I'm a *nix user,
too, and I can recommend Individual.net ( http://news.individual.net/ ).
It's is the follow-on/re-incarnation of the free news.cis.dfn.de. It
costs 10 Euro per year and it's well worth it. I used the online sign-up
and paid via the FirstgGate ( http://firstgate.com/EU/en/info.html )
service they use.

Now, if only slrn could score on top-posters. sigh...

I have used the Google newsgroups on occasion. All you need is a
browser. I don't care for the interface though.

Google interface is nice but overloaded. I prefer to offline action what is
not possible with Google.
