The Usenet News service I have been using to provide news for our shell servers seems to have gone TU without warning.  They sent me no notice but just disappeared from the Web.  They were a US based firm but the domain name is now owned by an outfit in England.  There is no website, phone numbers disconnected, no e-mail addresses working, no way to find out what happened.

     I am looking for a new provider but in the meantime I apologize but no Usenet News available until and unless I can find a replacement.

     If anyone knows of a potential replacement please contact support@eskimo.com or via the Fediverse nanook@friendica.eskimo.com.
