There seem to be lots of newsgroups on:
news.verizon.net

And this site says Verizon offers 1000's of newsgroups...

or

But I'd still connect directly to the microsoft servers for the
microsoft.public.* groups.

I don't know how, but... that ain't workin'. I pay $6 per month through
http://allthenewsgroups.com because Verizon doesn't even have the Excel/Word
ones listed and they "don't support newsgroups".

Sounds like a lot of hassle to me. Then I have to beg my ISP for an
NNTP
server name, and just now pay for that as well.

Not for this news server you don't. It's free and you can access it from
any
ISP.
Just use "msnews.microsoft.com" (without the quotes" as your news server.
