I replied in email, but if this helps anyone else. There are several
Public News Server Lists on the net, this one seems to be the most current.

In the below, after group= type in the name of the newsgroup you want.
ALthough not all public news servers let you post, this is one way to find
news servers that carry the newsgroups you are looking for. Enter it once,
then bookmark it, that way it will always list each of the news servers
with that group if the ones you choose stop working...

I have like 57 Public News Servers stored in Netscape, as they stop being
public, I find a new one and add them..

An example, say you wanted to find a news server for news.answers, then you
would click on this link:

http://www.jammed.com/newzbot-cgi-bin/group-search.pl?group=news.answers

You'll probably get every public news server in existence for that one,
since it seems to be carried by every news server.

Hope this helps.
