Getting ALT newsgroups? ? ?

[Dick]

When Verizon blocked access to the ALT newsgroups, I installed the
nntp.aioe.org free service. This allowed me to get ALT groups as I needed
them on an infrequent basis.
But this morning when I went to that server, I discovered nothing had been
posted since around Nov. 1, and I got a message, "Unable to Connect to
Server."
Did they go out of business? Are there any others that might give me access
to the one I need most, which is alt.home.repair?

If you don't mind using your browser, rather than a newsreader,
you can easily access it here:

If you don't mind using your browser, rather than a newsreader,
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.home.repair

Or use Altopia - https://www.altopia.com/ - $6/month for access to every
group.
