NewsFinder is a program for finding open-access news servers. It is shareware ( US$10 ).
Many ISP's news servers are pretty feeble and do not carry the newsgroups you want to read, or, if they do, they have unsatisfactory retention or a limited feed.
Commercial news servers might be beyond your means.
NewsFinder can help you to find other news servers that allow reading access.
The unregistered version is limited to finding a maximum of 3 open servers per session.
This software's licence is Shareware - Unlimited, which means that the current version is free of charge for now; no time or feature restrictions in this version.
If you wish to register and receive the full version of this Shareware - Unlimited program, it will cost you US$ 10.00
