I can't access the MP3 binary newsgroups - how do I get access?
If the binaries newsgroups don't appear on your server's list of groups, then this presumably means that your server doesn't carry them. Some don't, because they take up *lots* of space, and use tons of bandwidth. This basically means that you'll have to get another server. Either sign up with an ISP which provides a decent newsserver including binaries (I can't really recommend one in the UK - you'll need to ask around locally), or subscribe to a dedicated news service... there are quite a number of these, and they usually charge something around $10 US a month I gather. Newsguy is one that a lot of people use... but if you search for "news server" or "usenet server" or "usenet access" in any popular search engine you should come up with a bunch.
