You have to get a news group program like "free agent". You can get such programs for free but for decent news list servers you may need to subscribe for a small fee.

Happy free pr0n hunting!

news.individual.net is the best one out there, but doesn't do binaries.

So it's fine if you actually want to use usenet

If you're after binaries (i.e. downloadable Xbox files) you haven't got a hope in hell of getting any free servers which are any good at all. Ask if you want recommendations for good paid services.

If all you wanna do is participate in the text (discussion) newsgroups, then Google Groups is a good service to use. Or use this search engine to find free servers.

try GoogleGroups... you can access all newsgroups from a Google style search box...
