-pondering- maybe it came free with the level of service we had when
we signed up. it's certainly not on the bill. the machine connects
to something like "newsgroups.comcast.net" to download the groups.........

Uh-Oh... That certainly isn't Giganews.
Back in the good old days, before Adelphia folded, they actually
contracted with Giganews to provide their newsgroup service (at no extra
charge). That was nice while it lasted.
