Formerly DejaNews, Google Usenet provides web-based access to many thousands of usenet newsgroups and their archives, with some extra help for beginners. Note: Remarq.com, a former provider of free web newsgroup access, has been acquired by a company which now charges $13.95/month for the same service. This apparenly leaves Google with the only free source of web-based newsgroup access. FAQs.org Searchable Usenet FAQs archives. You can search by words in the text of the postings, newsgroup or archive title, or words in the article headers. For more search options, or to browse FAQs by categories, use the text link. Usenet Hierarchies This is a description of the hierarchies of subjects for Usenet. It will help you select a newsgroup (or newsgroups, more likely) where you might find the answers you are looking for. UCalIrvine FAQFinder This link is to a natural language FAQs search engine, at the U. of California, Irvine. Usenet FAQ's originated as a way to stop "newbies" from asking the same old questions. Now they have evolved into general purpose "how-to" or "all-about" manuals on virtually everything. Free Agent Newsreader If you want to read and send newsgroup postings with "client-side" software (rather than just web-based), at Forte Inc. you can download a free program called "Free Agent" which has some advantages over using Microsoft's Outlook Express as a newsreader. |
