oh, didn't think such things are still possible. I'm in Nigeria over EDGE and NNTP could save me some traffic/pain.
NNTP is certainly still alive and well. I read most of my e-mail lists that way using the interface at Gmane (
http://www.gmane.org/). Though, honestly, I haven't taken a look at Usenet in several years now.
I'd love to see NNTP here.
