OT News Server

As News.Individual.Net is going pay, I want to configure the
microsoft.public groups in my Outlook Express. Does anyone know the server's
"name" so I can do that?

Thanks!

shuffle?? Or MAYBE......(dreaming here)......I still get it free coz I have

I haven't had any notification yet either, Figgs - and I only started using
it a few months ago.

When it arrives, I'll deal with it -otherwise......

Dear users of News.Individual.NET,

as announced via e-mail, news(*) and WWW(**) on February 15th, 2005,
use of News.Individual.NET will not be free of charge anymore
effective from April 1st, 2005. The news service will continue as a
fee-based service.

The fee for an account for News.Individual.NET is 10 EUR per year
(annual payment), that converts to only 0.84 EUR per month. The price
includes VAT at 16%.

(*) Message-ID:
(**) http://news.individual.net/commercial.php

Up to now, the only payment option available was payment through the
financial service provider Firstgate (or their international partners,
see http://firstgate.com/EU/en/international.html).

We are pleased to announce that we are now able to offer an additional
payment option:

Bank transfer to bank account of Freie Universitaet Berlin

Within Germany (for holders of German bank accounts), bank transfer to
our bank account is done as usual with bank account number and BLZ
(Bankleitzahl, bank number).

For holders of non-German bank accounts, IBAN (International Bank
Account Number) and BIC (Bank Identifier Code, SWIFT address) are
available.

But please note that our bank account is configured to reject payments
that are subject to bank charges on our site (this can particularly
happen when transfering funds from foreign bank accounts). Please contact
your financial institution before sending us money and ask them if and
what charges apply (the charges can be huge depending on where you reside).
And please make sure only to send us money by bank transfer if you pay
for all charges.

To pay for your existing account for News.Individual.NET or to sign up
for a new account, please go to:

https://news.individual.net/register.php

You can choose your preferred payment option (Firstgate or bank
transfer) during the registration process. If you pay through
Firstgate, your account will be activated as soon as we receive the
acknowledgement of your payment from Firstgate. Normally, this happens
instantly (real time). If you pay by bank transfer, your account will
be activated as soon as your payment is booked to our bank account and
recorded in our user administration system. You will receive an e-mail
from us containing your account data when your account is activated
and ready to use.

Please note:

* Due to administrative reasons, the 3 Months Subscription (5 EUR) is
not available when paying by bank transfer. For this payment option,
only the Annual Subscription (10 EUR) is available. If you prefer
the 3 Months Subscription, please choose payment through Firstgate
as your payment option.

* Processing times at the banks involved may take some days even
when sending money from German bank accounts; bank transfers from
foreign bank accounts may take significant more time. There is
nothing we can do to speed up this process, and we cannot track your
money for you. If in doubt, please ask the financial institution
through which you made your payment.

* The fact that the payment has left your bank account does not mean
that we have already received it.

* Handling payments made by bank transfer to our bank account
is no fully automated process, it contains steps that require human
attention. Of course, we try to activate your account as soon as
possible, but we ask for your understanding that the time required
may vary highly due to the afore mentioned reasons. If you need
instant activation, please choose payment through Firstgate as your
payment option.

* It is very likely that our banking account details (or banking
account details allegedly ours) will soon circulate the net without
our knowledge and approval. To protect you from fraud, and because we
generate individual notes to payee for bank transfers to ensure
correct payment allocation, we ask you to only use the bank transfer
information that you receive from us during our web registration
process.

Thank you very much for your interest, and we would be happy if you
decide to stay or become our user even if our service is not free of
charge anymore.

Best regards,
the NetNews Team of Freie Universitaet Berlin

OK.....I know about it from others....but never once received notification
and I was emailing one of the tech guys around the time of the announcement.

I guess I will have to use my ISP's news groups.....yuck. That was an
excellent server!! But I am not going to try and cope with the banking
stuff when I have a free one here.

Cheers.....Heather

I couldn't get a.c.v. or a.c.a.v from my ISP at the time I signed up
that is why I went with them, I will have to look if my new one does if
not I will drop those two ng's.
