I'm currently teaching a class about information systems and I plan to research newsgroups as a means of providing information. Can anyone recommend a good, free, USENET news server that the students can access? Most of them are private and require ID and password (like Netnews).

I recommend you try DFN which is the only 'official' free news server I know that you can also post messages to. You do need to register and get a password but it's free, very straightforward and only took me a day or so. Their server does NOT include binary groups (which might be a good thing if you have young students!) They are pretty reliable. Go to web page http://news.cis.dfn.de/en/rules.html for details.

Alternatively try the free news server: newsfeed.uninet.ee. They do allow posting. They DO include binary groups. They are fairly reliable but you may find some messages missing.

Just do an internet search, with the Search button in your browser, for the single word, newsserver ... and it should bring up a fair sized list, or it did the last time I used it. Cheers, ;) a fellow newsgroup reader ...
