PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE NEWS SERVERS
(Last Update 3/14/94)
Many sites seem to have closed down since my last update. :(
Currently only one U.S. site still remains accessible. I am sorry about
that people, but I have no control over how the site administrators
decide to run their servers. We have lost several Gopher news sites as
well, but still 29 sites remain that provide news service through
Gopher.
(NOTE: 3/24/94 - the last U.S. site has just closed. You can try
sol.ctr.columbia.edu, but I am told that this site allows only 15
connections at one time. In fact I have never succeeded in connecting
to it. Reportedly it does allow posting.)
These sites have been found to be available to the general
public for NNTP service through port 119. You will need
Newsreader software to make use of these sites. These sites
were found to be open at the time they were surveyed, but I
make no guarantees about future access. News administrators
are free to close off sites to the public at any time. I will remove
any site from this list that asks to be removed.
I have not surveyed what is available at each of these sites.
Please do not overload these sites looking for pornography. The
administrators of these sites have been notified about this list,
and they are unlikely to make prurient material available to the
public. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE A GUEST IN MAKING USE
OF THESE FACILITIES. The news adminstrators who support
open access to the Usenet News are voluntarily doing a service
for the public. PLEASE SHOW GRATITUDE FOR THEIR EFFORTS BY
NOT ABUSING THE ACCESS THAT IS PROVIDED!
Please remember also that you can also use Gopher to access the Usenet
news. After the list of news servers, I have included bookmarks for
sites that provide access through Gopher for reading the news.

news.uni-stuttgart.de:/news/spool/news and, finally, to
news.uni-stuttgart.de:/news/archive [our news archive].
- telnet access: rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de, login info,
select menu item 1 (shell access), and to change to
/pub/soft/comm/news/. cd spool/news for the spool dir,
look around to watch a full-blown news server running 8-)
- anon-ftp access: ftp info2.rus.uni-stuttgart.de:/pub/comm/news/*,
same tree as via telnet access.
- ftpmail access: ftpmail@info2.rus.uni-stuttgart.de, same
as ftp access above

/comm/news

NUA (WIN, Datex-P): 0262 45050 367111
NUA (EuropaNet): 0204 3623 367111
- There is some way for decnet access. I don't know how this
works. Good luck !
(quick'n'dirty) access policy: news.uni-stuttgart.de is a RS6000 with
128 MB RAM, FDDI interface, and a few Gigabytes disk (10, soon 15 8-).
Its also our campus anon-ftp server. Its running inn-1.4.
There are a few special hierarchies (e.g. russian, japanese, french
etc), but no alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.*, alt.sex.* and some other
groups the university administration was not able to allow, please
don't waste your time trying.
Do not abuse this service. If You want to use our nntp service
on a regular basis, please contact news-adm@news.uni-stuttgart.de
so that we *know* who You are and why You use our server. This helps us
to defend the open access policy [and we've seen hard times ...]. We
will disable any domain without further notice if we have problems with it.

BOOKMARKS TO SITES PROVIDING GOPHER ACCESS TO USENET.
You can edit this list and include whatever parts are of interest in the
bookmark file for your Gopher client. Alternatively you can point your
client directly at the site. On a UNIX system, for example, you could
point your Gopher client at the La Tech Usenet site with the command
gopher -p '1/Usenet News' aurora.engr.latech.edu 70.
The general format for the command in Unix is
gopher -p 'PATH' host_name port#
You cannot post news articles via Gopher. However, it is possible to
post news articles by mail through the University of Texas. You must
remember in using this service that the periods in the newsgroup
name are all changed to hyphens. So, to post an article to the
newsgroup "alt.beer," for example, you would e-mail your article
to the following address:
alt-beer@cs.utexas.edu.
To post to the newsgroup "comp.os.vms," you would e-mail to
comp-os-vms@cs.utexas.edu.
