    What's New

    4/7/99 - demonews.mindspring.com and news.ausmail.com have been working on and off lately. ;)

    12/18/98 - Newsfeeds also carries most groups. http://www.newsfeeds.com

    11/5/98 - Airnews and Ausmail still seem to carry most groups, though I haven't checked many others. If you know of any others that should be mentioned, message me and I'll add it here. ;)

    9/20/98 - Easynews had some technical difficulties and is missing several groups. When it goes back to normal I will make note of it. [Note: It has since gone back to normal ;) ]
