Default Have we given up? - a cheap access provider

Good to know, Chuck. Thanks.

ster.com...
usenetmonster.com is much cheaper than giganews, only $3/month, and has
worked flawlessly for me. One quirk with this provider: they have two
servers you can access. The news.usenetmonster.com server was slow for
me; the bignews.usenetmonster.com server is very fast. They have a very
easy to follow instruction guide on their website as to how to set this
up, and the one email question I sent was answered the next day. I'd been
with giganews after verizon dropped newsgroups, but didn't like their high
monthly fee so switched to usenetmonster. It accesses all the orchid
groups and everything else, accepts binary pictures, etc.

Guess I'd better look into Giganews, and figure out how to use it. What's
the other one? Terranews?
