Working news server ?

Hi all,

I posted a message on this group some time ago stating that I had problems with the Swissonline news server not being
updated for very long times.

Someone was kind enough to answer that I should use news.internetplus.ch instead.

This worked find until today: suddenly I started having the same problems with news.internetplus.ch

Upon some DNS searching, I found out why: it looks like news.swissonline.ch and news.internetplus.ch now point to
the same server.

Maybe I'm all wrong, but it looks like they have kept only one server, and of course it was the not working one
that they kept...

And of course the address they mention to report problems (usenet@news.swissonline.ch) is completely bogus:
I sent a report only to get a mail system error 4 days later...

Now I remember that someone posted an address for a public NNTP server in Germany, but I'm unable to locate it
in the newsgroup archives.

So would someone be kind enough to post one or more addresses of publicly available news servers, and/or maybe
to comment on this problem ?

Thanks in advance.
