We partner with Easynews - to offer news service to our dialup/dsl customers as part of their access price... :-) You can use your own nntp client, or can use our shell servers for tin/trn etc. Easynews and giganews are always one upping each other on their data retention rate - though Easynews is usually ahead. We're talking about months of retention time on all (yes even those) newsgroups. 100+ Terabytes of storage. Best of all, both Deru and Easynews are local.
