So first, you need to find a (reputable) public newsgroup server and set
up an account there -- usually free.

I use news.eternal-september.org. I don't know if excelbanter.com
permits direct access to its webserver. I know that groups.google.com
does __not__.

Excelbanter (and other *banter sites) freely leaches usenet content to
exisit and opens an unchallenged gateway for spammers. I would not give
it any credibility at all...

Get a copy of Mozilla Thunderbird and configure it for Eternal September.
