OT: Free Usenet site, includes binarie groups!!

I can only receive RAS at work, since my cable provider doesn't support RAS (well, I can access RAS at home but my provider only shows about 10 new messages a day). Dejanews wasn't a good solution, I found it a clumsy system. I just stumbled upon this one: http://www.etin.com/ and it seems to work excellent.. have to test it some more, but the good news is it also supports binarie newsgroups! So for the people who can't access alt.binaries.simulators.autos, now you can :) Andre

Looks pretty good so far. Won't last though. Nothing good ever does... :( -- ------------------------------------- Morgan Vincent Wooten http://home.earthlink.net/~morganv00/ ------------------------------------- "Andre Warringa" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > I can only receive RAS at work, since my cable provider doesn't > support RAS (well, I can access RAS at home but my provider only shows > about 10 new messages a day). > Dejanews wasn't a good solution, I found it a clumsy system. > I just stumbled upon this one: > http://www.etin.com/ > and it seems to work excellent.. have to test it some more, but the > good news is it also supports binarie newsgroups! > So for the people who can't access alt.binaries.simulators.autos, now > you can :) > > Andre >

A year or so ago I also found a very good Usenet site which also supported all binarie groups. 3 months later it became a paysite :( Andre

Andr� you might be able to use news:fb1.euro.net to read RAS. You can't post through it and it doesn't offer binaries. But at least you'll be able to follow RAS from home as well. I use it as my backup newsreader. Hans van Dam

Thanks Hans but the other site seems to be a better solution then, also for you, since you can post and get binaries with that one. Andre
