Newsreader??
 

I've been using Free Agent to access newsgroups for years. It's no
longer free and I've got 1 day left to use it without paying. Just
wondering what applications others use to access this newsgroup, and
if you pay or use freeware.

Thanks!!

Cheers,
AB

I pay for Agent now - for the service, rather than the client, but I used
to use (and still prefer) 40tude Dialog. It's free.

I just haven't got around to going back to it.

I don't know which country you are posting from but my broadband
company here, Comcast, provides a newsgroup server,
[email protected] , and I access it with the FidoLook
modification of Outlook Express. Comcast is expensive enough
without having to pay extra for a ng server.

My provider doesn't have an NG server. (or they didn't last time I looked
which was, admittedly a looong time ago)
The Agent's server fee isn't extortionate though.

Yikes! I don't remember receiving anything from Agent about paying for
FreeAgent. Did you get an email from them or what>

It must be quite special if you pay for it. Why do you?

I bought Agent, simply because there are a few more useful sorting
options than on Free Agent. All for a one-off fee. Haven't updated to
the latest version.

I get Usenet access via my ISP (Zen Internet)

If you are not interested in binary groups News.individual.net is good value at
EUR10 a year.

I pay for the Usenet service so I can use it 'on the road'.

because I liked the free version and so paid up. Its not much. Nobody
pay, no software.
I'm happy to pay if the price doesn't get silly, which it does for
some software.

Same here. I stopped at version 2.0 - good enough for me. I don't need bells and whistles.
