= Hi.

I've been using trn for decades to read a very few USENET groups. Until= recently I've
been using aioe.org as my NNTP server but it seems to have gone dark. Before that=
I used eternal-september.org, but when I try that I now get:

| $ NNTPSERVER=3Dnews.eternal-september.org trn
| Connecting to news.eternal-september.org...Done.
|
| Invalid (bogus) newsgroup found: comp.sys.3b1
|
| Invalid (bogus) newsgroup found: comp.sources.bugs
|
| Invalid (bogus) newsgroup found: comp.misc
|
| Invalid (bogus) newsgroup found: comp.compilers
| ....

And those all are (or were!) valid groups. If anyone has suggestions for a = good
free NNTP server, please let me know. Privately is fine.=C2=A0 I'm at a= bit of
a loss otherwise.

I maintain inn a= nd some related ports for FreeBSD.=C2=A0 I run a public server at csiph.com and am happy to provide accounts or pee= ring to interested parties.=C2=A0 Read access is open.
