To discredit me, for what reason? Hmmm? Now let's just talk about why your pink boxers are all in a knot over me. The above statement is true. Quite simply true. For anyone to think their "ISP" is forcing them to use Google is just silly. And, the post you replied to by saying you should have killfiled me at my first post, was also true, e.g. to assault someone by throwing things into their open car window is initiating violence. Which is not smart. I realize that you are a self-important moron with sexual inadeqacy issues (hence your hilarious attempt to control the content of a Usenet group), but what is your problem with these posts? Be specific. |

You have plenty of options." I trust all of those options are available to people living in Honduras, correct? You didn't seem to suggest any. I happen to live in an area in which PayPal allow not accounts to be created and from which most US based businesses will not accept credit card payments. That effectively shuts down any way to pay for setup fees. Every alternative that has been recommended to me requires an ISP to provide an email address as well as STMP and POP3 information. My ISP does NOT provide any of those. Without that information, I've yet to find USENET access through anyone other than Google. I'd like to see the alternatives that you say exist. -SD- |

If your ISP allows you to access the Internet, you can hook up to news servers that will work to access Usenet. Your ISP cannot keep you from using an independent news server. Email me and I will show you how to go about this. |

I think that it would be a service to a number of people to provide this info. I am very happy with my setup (a Mac running MT-NewsWatcher connecting to a pretty nice newserver run by my full service ISP), so I'm not going to do any research. One hint, which may be totally useless. Will any of the free newservers accept your Yahoo Email? I use a real Email address in my posts, but obviously many people don't. As far as SMTP, if you can't provide one, your local newsclient won't be able to send mail. Maybe this isn't a big deal, though. I wish you the best of luck, and enjoy reading your posts. The fact that you use googlegroups doesn't bother *me* at all, I'm just glad that I'm not forced to use it. I use Google to look up old posts (I think I go back to 1991 on this group). -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California, USA |

Some are pay, some are not. Here is one news server that advertises that it serves Honduras. https://secure.usenet-access.com/_se...thersignup.asp It is $6 a month and you don't need to use PayPal, you just enter your credit card number. If for some reason you CANNOT DO THAT IN HONDURAS below are the instructions on how to subscribe via post: To subscribe by POSTAL MAIL using money order or personal check: If you cannot subscribe by either payment method above, you can always pay by non-refundable MONEY ORDER or PERSONAL CHECK. This allows you to pre-pay for 6 or 12 months of full newsreader access. To use this option, please follow these instructions: 1) Get a MONEY ORDER or PERSONAL CHECK, in US Funds, made out to "Centaur Networks LLC". The allowable amounts are as follows: USA & Canadian residents: $50 (6 month access) OR $100 (12 month access) All Other Countries: $100 (12 month access only!) 2) Send the payment to: Centaur Networks LLC Attn: UA PO Box 845 Corning, New York 14830 3) *Don't forget to include your EMAIL ADDRESS so we know where to send your account info!! As soon as payment is received we will immediately create the account and send your username, password and the server name. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

I have had credit card entry denied when trying to make purchases of numerous things from Honduras, The school I work for has had their corporate account denied because it originates in Honduras. When trying to make a phone call from the US to Honduras on a phone at SeaTac that used credit cards, the call was denied because of where it was going. Credit card fraud, credit card theft, piracy and ID theft are major problems here and merchants are hesitant to accept cards from Honduras. SD |

If her ISP connects her to the Internet, she can access both email AND Usenet. In fact, she is doing it now. She has a Yahoo email address, and is posting through Google. The question was, are there other ways to access Usenet and there are. I gave her links. Names of servers she can physically send a check to, that will give her access to Usenet via the web, if nothing else. |

I saw one link and I thought it was very nice of you to find it for her. The down side of free servers is they don't stay free for very long if they are any good and they don't stay around if they aren't any good. |

The majority of my posting is to RFC with the occasional odd post to RTLA. Even with the links cybercat posted for me, tt really isn't worth the hassle to have a newsserver access for essentially one newsgroup. Google works just fine for posting to only one newsgroup. -SD- |

The whole reason this topic came up (and I should thank you, I now know a whole lot more about Honduras!) is because Steve Wertz jerkishly barged in and announced that he is killfiling all Google posts. He is an idiot. For my part, I just didn't want you to feel limited to one way of posting if you weren't happy with it. Peace! -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

I have used two for years, and they are very good. Teranews did cost $3.95--a one-time charge. But x-private is completely free, and very reliable. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
