Doubt that Earthlink would drop it. My guess that AOL is
dropping it to conserve money due to their dwindling
customer base and also due to their recent legal troubles
IIRC. I know Time Warner regrets getting AOL.

Last I recall:

news.west.earthlink.net (West of the Mississippi?)
news.east.earthlink.net (East of the Mississippi?)

Yep. http://news.earthlink.net/

Two servers are available for Newsgroups usage:
news.west.earthlink.net and news.east.earthlink.net. For
best performance, if you live west of the Mississippi River,
you should use news.west.earthlink.net. If you live east of
the Misissippi River, you should use
news.east.earthlink.net. If you are unsure, you should use
news.east.earthlink.net. Both servers will have the same
functionality, capability, list of newsgroups, and articles.

I used to have an account with them. It may be that they
are upgrading their servers. Then again the page above was
updated a couple years ago.
