I was a bit pissed when Verizon only allowed the "big 5" usenet domains, and then a few months later they dropped it altogether, while I had signed on for a full 1 year commitment. But I found that I get reliable and complete usenet access from www.teranews.com, for only a one-time $5 setup charge. And they have a totally free server with a few restrictions. Paul
