Nobody has access to NNTP anymore. You could complement it with a web gateway perhaps - what are good open source ones?

NNTP is alive and strong. Google groups includes most usenet groups for example. Yeah, most ISPs don't give out free access any more but just google for "news server access".

I have tried for a while in Germany, but eventually just gave up. Maybe you have it better in the US.

So what would be a free news server everybody can access? You should be able to name one, the one you are using for instance?

Google Groups - true, but Google doesn't have a free NNTP server, or do they? I admit I forgot that Google Groups are backed by NNTP.

I'm in the UK. I use nntp.aioe.org, a quick google brought up www.teranews.com .. hope at least one works out for you.
