   Mike Luther to All   
   New source for Newsgroups?

   Howdy Faithful!   
      
   On March 3rd my IP provider who has had a good relationship with Cogent for   
   all their Newsgroup services for years suddenly went down the drain.  My IP   
   provider had no bad issues with their server, but even they did not know that   
   Cogent gave up completely on Newsgroup service that day!  Yes, there are a   
   number of 'paid for' Newsgroup entities that perhaps can provide the service,   
   but I'd badly like to have the complete OS/2 Newsgroup access without paying   
   per month for it.  I've done some research and it looks like the MIT Edu folks   
   may be handling the complete core for this.  However I do not have any at this   
   point understanding how I might be able to simply use them for a 'server' for   
   all this.   
      
   Can anyone point me to an IP address where I might be able to 'log in' and   
   recover my OS/2 Newsgroup service?   
      
   Thank you!
