Does anybody know where I can get posts from previous months in
different newsgroups?  I would like to be able to re-read
articles.

Is there an FTP site that contains old news articles???

Thanks in advance!  Any info would greatly be appreciated.

Some FTP sites you might want to try include:

cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu       128.146.8.62
tut.cis.ohio-state.edu          128.146.8.60
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil          26.2.0.74
wuarchive.wustl.edu             128.252.135.4
xanth.cs.odu.edu                128.82.8.1

These mostly archive moderated groups, but other things are stored in
some of them.

I am also very interested in knowing where the articles of each newsgroup
are archived and can be ftp'ed.   The above addresses are not very helpful.
Is there a list of newsgroup-site(s)?

your help is greatly appreciated.

There are no designated sites for archiving newsgroups. (With maybe
an exception or two.) There are many sites for the sources newsgroups
but only a few for others. The only way to find out what each site has
is to go look.
