comp.lang.c is accessible via gmane (gmane.org) however
comp.lang.fortran does not seem to be there. Any idea if this is
intentional or just a coincidence?

The reason why I am interested is that, currently I am using a
private news server to read/post on this newsgroup. In couple of
months I loose access to that server. So I would prefer access to
this newsgroup from a free service such as gmane. If there are other
alternatives available, please enlighten me.

thanks

you could try news.aioe.org although I think they hope to have limited posting-traffic.

Or fork out 5 bucks a month for a newsfeed. Pays to shop around. If you need more bandwidth for binaries than the minimum, you either have a serious hobby or a problem.
I don't quite understand. I've had about 6 different ISPs and all of them offered free newsgroup servers. Is that not common?

For the bigger ones it seems to be. For myself, in a small local market area, they pulled the plug and I've not been able to convince them to put it back. Apparently I was the only person who complained. :(

I'm using the news.aioe.org site -- it's ok, a little limited in scope if you're really into everything and retention time is pretty short but the price is right... :)

Can't think of the server name just now -- there was a German free server that went to a minimal charge format a couple of years ago -- I used it the first year and it was fine but figured I'd try the cheap route for a while and let it lapse. It was really quite inexpensive though. A google would probably find it pretty easily.
