NewsFinder is a program for finding open-access news servers. It is shareware ( US$10 ).
Many ISPs' news servers are pretty feeble and do not carry the newsgroups you want to read, or, if they do, they have unsatisfactory retention or a limited feed.
Commercial news servers might be beyond your means.
NewsFinder can help you to find other news servers that allow reading access.
NewsFinder is not a newsreader.
NewsFinder does not tell you when a server allows posting ( spam prevention ).
The unregistered version is limited to finding a maximum of 3 open servers per session.
NewsFinder, when finding news servers, will stop this operation once 3000 unique server names have been found.
Suggestions welcome.
