David,
If your provider is Verizon, they dropped alt.. groups (and some other
groups) a while ago. Their rationale was there was porn on some of
these groups. Tsk tsk. I dropped Verizon internet when my contract
expired, so I don't know if they reinstated the groups.

There are some low cost (free?) newsgroup providers out there, so you
could subscribe to one of them and still keep your internet provider
if desired.

Perhaps someone here can reccommend a newsgroup service.
