OT: Hey! Come back a mo, please. Is Teranews all right for general
Usenet purposes? I read somewhere that there had been some problems;
and a couple of weeks ago their website didn't seem to be responding.

I'd recommend datemas.de; Mail'd them and they got back within a day
with my account details and a friendly mail. I've used it for a short
time though..so.. teranews is a con job! Those skunks have embedded
"Free" in their page, but it's not free. Scumbags! You could also post
on alt.free.newsservers and news.newusers.questions (if you need help
with news).
