Under the guise of a minor software upgrade, Netcom has changed its newsgroups access list to totally exclude "alt" groups altogether. Since there is no way to sign up for a newsgroup other than via the selection menu that Netcom provides, it appears that Netcom has managed to censor access to all those discussion groups.
Not entirely. From my shell account I just used Tin to view and subscribe to alt.sex and several others without a problem. Perhaps the above is true of their browser (NetCruiser) accounts? Bart
