Best free usenet service?

Are there any good free newsgroup servers? Speed and bandwidth isn't an issue, as it won't be for bins. I know there are web-based servers (i.e. Google Groups), but I don't like the layout. Would prefer to just plug the server into my mail client and browse that way. But if you know of a web-based service that has a very good layout let me know.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! 🙂
 
I'm using EVDO through my cellphone, unfortunately I don't think Alltel offers a usenet server.

I just realized though that my university probably has a usenet server. Will have to stop by or call the IT department sometime and see about setting it up. In the meantime though I'm still open to other suggestions. 🙂
 
I'm not up on free servers. There's a group called alt.free.newsservers where you might find some leads.

Try the college's feed too. In my experience they won't carry a full text feed, particularly alt groups, but it may be enough to suit you.
