Of course most ISPs allow you to use news groups. If ud wish to find out if ur ISP supports access to usenet either check their main website (which is usually no help) or try finding the news server for urself.

Most news servers are in this format

nntp.ISP.com
news1.ISP.com
news.ISP.com
news-server.ISP.com
nntp1.ISP.com
netnews.ISP.com

ect ect ect

Of course ull need a client to view the nntps. I personally use Free Agent which you can easly google up if u cared enough to.


BE WARNED, many news servers contain some things that will be VERY offensive to many...

news servers are well known for the spread of child porn and virii. Just be careful and look up a list of extensions to files that could be harmfull for ur computer such as BAT EXE SCR COM ect ect

good luck and have fun : ) theres a lot to learn and USENET is the best place to learn it.
