Access
Besides the newsreader, the web front end is available through the WebNNTP which is their own standalone download program.
Misc
Their service is anonymous, although they log IP addresses in order to fight spam and abuse of the service. They allow posting, but only after the user has been with them at least one month. This is simply because of the excessive spam / abuse posting privileges.
Recommendation
Although they offer a decent level of service, the lower retention times leads us to consider comparison with some other providers.
