How to Use TechSono News Service With AOL, MSN,
or Any Other ISP

A newsgroup server is similar to a web server. It is a computer that you access over the Internet. And just as you can access various web servers around the world with your browser, you can also access various news servers with a news-reader program.

Normally, you don't have to worry about this because AOL, MSN, and other Internet service providers (ISPs) like Earthlink have a news server that you can access for free. And, most people only need access to one news server as opposed to dozens of web servers. This is because a news server is usually much larger than a web server and holds much more material.

As you will soon discover, the free news server that you get access to for free with your internet account is usually pretty lame compared to third-party services like TechSono. Some of them, like AOL's and MSN's are set up in such a way as to prevent you from accessing them with anything but AOL's and MSN's software.

The good news is that AOL and MSN cannot prevent you from connecting to other news servers elsewhere on the Internet. However, news servers are very large computers, use up huge amounts of bandwidth, and often require a staff of technicians to keep them running properly. This is opposed to a web server that is relatively smaller, cheaper, uses less bandwidth, and can often run unattended sitting in a rack in some cavernous hosting facility rarely touched by human hands.

So, while there are plenty of free web sites, there are no free news servers that are better than what you get for free from your ISP. They just cost too much money to operate. You can think of TechSono News Service as a premium web site that you must subscribe to like RealMoney.com.

    So, this is what you do:
  1. Keep your current AOL, MSN or other ISP account
  2. Connect as you normally do via modem, DSL, or cable
  3. Subscribe to TechSono News Service
