    Hi,

    In the past I have been reading this group "alt.autos.volvo" on the
    USENET news server of my employer. Now I'm changing jobs and that
    server is no longer available to me.

    I don't see the group alt.autos.volvo on Google groups either, so
    where do I go to read the group?

    What servers do you use? (And maybe what newsreader software do you
    use; I use Forte Free Agent.)

    Thanks,

    Wolfgang,
    Santa Barbara

    In an earlier contribution to this
    discussion,:,
    I use News.Individual.Net for this and many other NGs. It's free - but you
    have to register before you can use it - which takes about a day.

    I'm using Outlook Express with the free 3rd party plug-in "QuoteFix" - which
    makes OE much more NG-friendly.

  3. alt.autos.volvo is on Google groups here:

    http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=alt.autos.volvo

    Possibly you confused the alt.auto hierarchy with alt.autos.

    However, much easier to use a decent news reader with a decent news
    server.
    Many people around the world recommend the server based at Berlin
    University. It's free, text only, but may take a few days to register.
    Find it at

    I've been using Free Agent for years. Perfectly adequate news reader
    that does all I want.
