    Via NNTP connection? Not really. What you are seeing here is
    Tildeverse Netnews, which is a small isolated NNTP network,
    existing as an asynchronous discussions parlor between Tilde servers. [1][2]
    It is not connected to USENET.

    You probably want to use a service like Eternal September [3] instead.

    N/A: see above.

    have on-site local access)

    [2] People from out there are also permitted to participate
    via Tilde.club (public gateway).

    You can set up slrn on your tilde account to access another server that
    gives you access to Big-Five. Try weretis or solani for example.
    There are others.
