    Did you look at "http://www.eternal-september.org/" ? Free newsreader server. Technical information tab:

    eternal-september.org can be accessed via the following server names and ports::

    Client Settings
    Server name: news.eternal-september.org <<<<< server name
    Port : 119 (NNTP)
    Port : 563 (encrypted connection NNTPS) <<< works for me

    I can't figure out how to add rec.aviation.soaring to Thunderbird.

    What is its "server name" and port?

    Me, too, and for Connection Security I needed STARTTLS from the
    pull-down. My default port is 587.
