I see in my reader that for THIS group I am able post with the news
account set for my ISP's SMTP server, despite the news server being set
for msnews.microsoft.com. Your being able to use similar settings may be
dependent on your ISP's policies.
News server Information for netfront.net appears to be available at:
http://netfront.net/members/engmembers.htm
Although some text on the page is in what appears to be an East Asian
font. In the right column there is a "Contact us" link (
http://netfront.net/contact/engcontact.htm ). There appears to be a web
based server as well.
And there is also Google's web based "groups":
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim
