Hi,

aioe NNTP server is down, and the Usenet service collapses...
Is there an alternative? I mean an equivalent to nntp.aioe.org?

Thanks,

Regards,

Well, as far as alternatives, if you can't find an alternative server,
you can always call my BBS. I just started adding groups, but if you
have a list of groups that are active and not 90% Russian Viagra ads, I'd
be happy to add them. ;)

That's how I've been getting my news fix.

If Usenet service is not relayed with important severs, like nntp.aioe.org, it collapses...

I'm not really optimistic :-(

Hello,

I migrated to news.eternal-september.org to access this group.
You just have to create an account and you'll get an ID and password.

I am currently writing this post from the TT with STING and TROLL 1.6
as news/mail client.

On your BBS, you can add fr.comp.sys.atari, the french Atari ST group.
No ads, not too much active but sometimes useful!

Guillaume.

I wouldn't mind adding it if the gateway operator was fine with it, but I
don't really have any French speaking users that I know of... Not sure
how much we'd be able to contribute. :(

Then again, Google Translate is our friend.

You know of course, that ATARI is a French company, don't you?

Best regards,

YES - I just got over there tonight. Now I did notice that news.blueworldhosting.com has retained many more older posts on their
news server.. which you can use in the same way as eternal-sept - you
have to register a user name. I was using it earlier tonight and
downloaded almost 4000 headlines, where as eternal has 1150.. So..
might be something if you like to go back through the history of the
group.
