Hi, Newtechie.
I'm not sure what your question means. Go to www.google.com and click News.
Is that what you are asking for?
What I meant was to type into the Google search box the phrase "news
server", then click Search the Web. That's where I got about 940,000 hits.
Better yet, type "free news server" and get about 16,700 hits where you can
choose a news server that will serve up all (or most) of Usenet at no charge
to you. I can't recommend any specific server because I haven't tried any
of them; I use the news server that is included in my ISP's monthly
subscription fee.
As you will see on the Google home page, it also offers to search Groups,
which means that it will find messages within these newsgroups and display
them in your browser without your having to subscribe. This page has its
own search box for finding messages about EPoX, for example.
