News servers for FAQs?

I had post_faq.pl set up on my shell account for a few months. Then, my
ISP gets bought out, and news.uscom.com becomes aliased to a new server
which is totally messed up with news.answers (overview files or some such).
My other shell account doesn't have news. I was quite happy with
post_faq.pl, but I now have no news server with a working news.answers to
use.

Are there any public or semi-public news servers out there? I know that,
due to spam and other problems, the numbers of fully public servers are
decreasing, but are there still any reliable ones? Is there some server
out there that I know not of that all FAQ authors can use (this would be a
nice idea, if somewhat impractical). Or is there some other way other than
actually posting to a news server for me to get my FAQ out each month? It
is important that I can run this program from my shell account, so that any
updates made are immediately made to the posted and webbified version.

Help me!
