Um, are you looking for a NNTP server to use?

These come in two major flavors, free and paid. (Well, I have a paid
one, newsguy, that comes free with my ISP...)

I'm not a guru on the topic, but a google for "free nntp server" should
provide information. You're looking for a server that allows posting
and has a large number of groups. (And probably free).

Sometimes you'll just need the server name, other times you may need a
username and password.

Otherwise, your ISP may have an nntp server for you to connect to, or a
google of "nntp server " should provide a number of low cost providers
on the "sponsored links" portion of the page.

Here's some info from another newsgroup...

"Send him this;
http://News.CIS.DFN.DE

Free post and read usenet. Outlook, agent, and a few other will work.

Takes 24 hours to get set up, but they've been good. You can't mug-up
your e-mail addy but what I did was opened a free hotmail account just
to get my e-mail reply from CIS.DFN.DE with my user name and password
(they provide, you don't get to pick it). after that I just never went
back to hotmail and let the addy die."

Google is your friend.
