Hmmm, still uses Usenet? Um, like the redhat.linux or comp.os.linux
heirarchy? <G>

IIRC, @Home does provide a newsfeed. I see lots of news spam originating
from their servers. Have you tried news.home.com? I think they have
regional news sites, so you should give them a call.

Other than that, there are many, many newsfeed services, some pay, some
free. The free ones tend to not carry binaries groups. For subscription
services:
  www.airnews.net
  www.supernews.com
  www.newzpig.com
  www.usenetserver.com
  www.uncensorednews.com
if any of these don't work, use ".net" instead of ".com"

Also, go to groups.google.com. There's a newsgroup specifically for
discussion of news providers. I don't recall the group name, but you
should be able to find it from there. It's in the news. hierarchy.
