I guess you are a legacy user of newsgroups courtesy of a long-time 
relationship with Earthlink, like me. Actually, Earthlink gave up its 
own news service and gives us legacy clients a text-only limited 
subscription to another news provider, individual.net, IIRC. They 
changed my access address some time ago to nntp.earthlink.net, so you 
might try that. I don't know about different subscription provisions 
outside the U. S.
