AT&T shuts down their newsgroup service shortly. Any suggestions on another
service that carries this group?

I was using motzarella.org. It recently it changed its name to
eternal-september.org

Here are the related server names:

news.eternal-september.org
reader80.eternal-september.org and
reader443.eternal-september.org

They say this:


In order to use the new servers, please make sure you create a new
account/server in your client configuration, download the group list
and subscribe to your favourite groups.

http://www.eternal-september.org/index.php?showpage=recoverp

This step is very important

When creating a new server/account in your client, please don't miss
the "Always authenticate" option most newsreaders require when
connecting to Eternal-September.

They have a website you can check for more info:

Please see
http://www.eternal-september.org/index.php?showpage=faq#Login-No-Auth
for details.

WARNING: Do not change the server name for your current Motzarella
client configuration, as this may cause erratic behaviour of your
newsreader (especially when it's called
Thunderbird/OutlookExpress/Windows Live Mail).

If you encounter any problems or have questions about the transition,
please use the internal group eternal-september.support, which can be
accessed without authentication.

Comcast dumped newsgroups, and I ended up using news.eternal-september.org
So far, so good.

Don't know if they carry this newsgroup, but probably do -

another free source
aioe.org
and probably
teranews.com

The most common pay (cheap) source I have seen people recommend is
giganews.com
also
astraweb.com

giganews has binaries. Free sites probably only text.

Then there is the ever popular (and awful) google-groups.

There have been a lot of discussions of this on other newsgroups which
you could google.
