news group servers for this group "alt.autos.volvo"

[Wolfgang]

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,

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.

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.

What servers do you use? (And maybe what newsreader software do you

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.

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