SKY news groups?

Hi,
Noticing the thread on sky. I understand it carries no newsreader. Is there
a particularly good option that may be obtained to replace my existing one
(Zen). I know its a good isp but the cost and poor limit (17.99 + 2gb pr
month) is tempting me- - not to mention the speed factors. I use windows
vista and vista email- is that possible with sky--not just a web based email
is it? tia.

Newsserver you mean, the newsreader is the software you use to
access it.
For text groups there is no need for the absence of a newsserver
to influence your choice of ISP, as there are plenty of 3rd party
ones you can use. individual.de is very good, they charge a token
fee. I use news.motzarella.org which is totally free and works well
another free one I have used is news.datemas.de

FWIW, I've used albasani for some time now -- another free/text-only
server, excellent in my experience.
