    I don't use it myself but I see advertisements periodically in the othernets area for a usenet service in PKT form from 1:229/426.

    I've been seeing that for years so it is a mature setup.

    thanks, I get some services from Nick already so I could do that.

    If you want to sign up for an account on my BBS then I can give you
    access to my usenet server. You just use your bbs credentials once
    enabled.
