rec.woodworking has been a valuable resource to me over the years. Regretably the University of Hawaii administrators decided to end their support of the news service.
I'll try find another way to get back to rec.woodworking in the mean time, keep on building with wood.

Not free, but good service.
Access to all newsgroups and binaries. They do a pretty good job of filtering most of the spam
Sorry about following up to my own comment, just wanted to add that I went through the same thing when DirecPC (my former ISP) decided to drop newsgroups because "nobody was using them" so they could offer more services with that bandwidth. They never did add anything I could tell.

I use Verizon's news server since I have Verizon Fios. The newsserver (IMO) is pretty good, certainly for text, and even for abpw. There are many complaints about incompletes for some binary groups, but I have no problems for what I do.
Hawaii used to have verizon. Don't know what you have now. I am in NJ. Giganews is nuch faster than verizon, and you can get a 30-day free trial.
Yeah, but he'd have to actually pay for it. Most schools provide internet for free to staff. (your tax dollars at work)
If you don't mind paying $3 a month, I'm very happy with APN:

Hi Bill,
I suffered the same fate a while back.
I searched around and found teranews.
Good luck

While the price for teranews is right, people have had mixed results. When I used it after my ISP discontinued news service, teranews service was spotty at best. Both the text news groups and binaries services were on-again/off-again in terms of available. I initially attributed this to the free service and tried the paid service -- same result.
My second survey of providers pointed to both GigaNews and Supernews as highly reliable providers. I chose Supernews, others have recommended Giganews -- you probably won't go wrong with either of them.
