No, Indera. That ng does exist. Your ISP probably doesn't carry it yet.
Mine only recently picked it up. In any event, for those of you having
similar problems, you should let your ISP know of your interest in the
group. However, there is a way to participate immediately. DejaNews at http://www.dejanews.com permits you to read alt.publish.books *and* post as
well.
