    We're busy playing with our RC2014s and vintage Kaypros running CP/M.

    There seems to be a lot of CP/M discussion going on in other forums, like FaceBook groups, Google Groups, VCFed.org.

    Since Google Groups stopped serving news (at least comp.os.cpm), it's
    harder to find a way to post. It took me two hours this morning just to
    find something I could use to reply here, as narkive wouldn't allow me to post, login, or sign up. There seem to be very few free nntp servers
    anymore. I hate to suggest it, but perhaps newsgroups are dead...

    Use news.eternal-september.org in Thunderbird.

    Sad. It was a great improvement over all its successors.

    That's a problem with servers allowing access to local groups without
    logging in and to more only after logging in.

    Use news.eternal-september.org in Thunderbird.

    That's what I'm using, but in 'pan' as thunderbird is not allowing me to
    subscribe to "comp.os.cpm" for some reason - not seeing any groups offered >> for subscription. I also don't want to clutter my email client with news,
    if possible. But finding eternal-september took awhile, and other "free"
    servers seem to be either gone or no longer free.

    Some others...

    www.i2pn2.org
    solani.org
    www.novabbs.com

    If your in Australia, this works well via Thunderbird using Outlook
    outgoing server.

    news.ausics.net

    10 EUR per year, but very happy with them.
