Something happened, perhaps with the university firewall, or something else. A colleague tells me he can connect to aioe.org on port 563 using some MS based newsreader. I cannot see how to tell nn to connect on port 563. Is there a way? I also tried to slrn, which provides "-p port" option, but still no luck: $ slrn -p 563 slrn 1.0.2 Loading /usr/local/share/slrn/slang/slrn.sl Using newsrc file /home/mexas/.jnewsrc for server aioe.org. Connecting to host aioe.org ... Failed to initialize server Run-Time Error Reason: slrn fatal error: Failed to initialize server. Please advise Thanks Anton
