Dear a.s.p.a. followers that use att.net, bellsouth, etc ISP's:
As they announce, UseNet news service will no longer be provided by them
after 15 July 09.
I asked within their 'bellesouth.net.support.news-service' group about

(my dialog):

Hopefully, it's not out of line to discuss the availble vendors for such
a service. Does All/BellSouth/Yahoo have such?
On Googling it, the first hit was "Razor"
Suggestions?
Freebees?

NNTP like most of the others, and is so infested with
spammers that posts entered there are often deleted

If you want one that's cheap and not very reliable, but

large number of newsgroups to their lists without actually
