what you seek
will be revealed
on a note in ink
with a magic seal

locked away
in the tower's 3
without delay
you must find the key

seek rhymes with ink and sink rhymes with eek, but seek does
not rhyme with eek and sink does not rhyme with ink. maybe
I'll respond with that riddle everytime anyone asks
anything.

What ISP do you use? Most ISPs give you some sort of
newsfeed as part of your access.

The NNTP (network news) port on news.verizon.net is open, so
point your newsreader there and see what happens (you'll
need to enter your verizon login/pass too). Otherwise check
your ISPs FAQ/help etc.

And there's always Google groups.

I don't think they host binary groups tho.

I need to know this too...I'm on Time Warner Cable Road
Runner (Cable Modem) though...

What are some free servers?

You're not likely to find full-access free news servers, the
bandwidth considerations are too high. Check your ISPs FAQ.
If they don't have news servers, get a better ISP.

My ISP does have one! Thanks so much, I'm in the process of
figuring this all out now...

What's a good news client to use that's better than Outlook
Express?
