See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge One common problem is a lack of access to certain newsgroups. This is particularly true of the biz.marketplace groups, because some sites do not carry the Biznet hierarchy. Your first action should be to ask your system administrator why she doesn't carry a particular group or set of groups. Often, just expressing an interest will be enough to convince her to subscribe. Or, you may find out that your site doesn't permit commercial use of the news facilities, in which case you should not try to circumvent local policy. However, if you have a dying urge to post to or read a specific group which your site does not carry, there are several free ways to receive those groups. These can be particularly useful if you live in Kazakhstan and your only news access is through Gopher and e-mail (a true story). For posting, a simple e-mail message to the right address will post your article. For reading, a number of open news servers and gopher news services are available for your perusal. But please, first talk to your local source for help to find out how to read and post news from your local server. In many cases, the only reason certain newsgroups are not carried is because of a lack of storage space. In this instance, please read Bob Rankin's "Accessing the Internet by E-Mail FAQ" in news.answers.
