www.xusenet.com is free server for binaries groups. It has daily size limits
though. There are other free servers too (search Google for them). But XUsenet is
probably the only one that lets you view porn without AVS. 

Erm... don't look at me like that!

You can try this server news.tpi.pl

You've probably found a way by now, but FYI:

biggulp.readfreenews.net
http://news.astraweb.com/

Both carry alt.binaries.pictures.ascii.  Biggulp requires no 
username/password; Astra does, so you'd need to go to the website to sign-
up for one -- no credit card required.  Biggulp has no restrictions or 
limitations (4 connections allowed); a free account with Astra is limited 
to 50MB/day, including headers (one connection allowed).
