You can view and post to usenet newsgroups with satellite connections. The quality of the newsgroup service varies by provider. Direcway/DirecPC no longer provides included newsgroup access, but Earthlink provides very good newsgroup selections for free to their customers. You can also purchase subscription newsgroup services from many providers that will work fine with your satellite connection,such as Easynews or Newsguy, or simply use Google's free newsgroups for simple,web-based reading and posting.

Sincerely, NewsAdmin.Com / Martin staff@newsadmin.com
