Unhappy


hi!
The reason for my putting up this message is that my ISP doesn't provide me with a news server option ! thats bad isn't it?
well is there any other way i can connect to USENET groups and access the articles ?
Well i use red hat linux 7 ..is there an option open for me to set up my own news server at home ?
where can i find the documentation to do that??
and if "yes" will i have to pay to the usenet news group in order to access that directly in my home bypassing my ISP ???
plz help !!!!
thanks in advance !!!!!

INN is pretty trivial to setup for local (private) newsgroups, but getting connected to a true USENET feed will be a major PITA for any 'normal' user. The problem being that you've got to find someone who is willing to feed your server. Most ISPs are simply not interested in spending the bandwidth.
