Obviously there no such group :)
news.gmane.org is a mailing list → nntp gateway. For the “classic”
groups you need another news server. Check if you ISP offers such a
service. If not, there are more or less unreliable free servers,
e.g. news.aioe.org (w/o registration) or news.arcor.de (?) (I think you
need to register somehow, not sure how).
