I don't have much choice in using my gmail account. I don't have a
usenet
access via my ISP.

When I changed my home account to a new ISP, I also
lost the usenet groups there. Then in another group,
someone posted something about http://www.individual.net/ .

It is run by a university in Berlin, Germany. They require a simple
sign up process, but it is free.

This has met my needs. It can be used from most news readers,
like Outlook Express, Forte Agent/Free Agent, Opera, Netscape, etc.

They don't have binary groups, which is fine for my needs.

So far it has worked well for me, but I don't use it a whole lot.
