Found my own errors: I hacked too much in timer.c to get it working on AIX 3. Undefining TIMEOUT resolves those problems. Now that I'm finally able to read news, I find that I can't post. nntp tells me that I send it garbage on any simple request, something like the following: (0)barolo:/usr/local/nntp 175$ tn bct930 nntp Trying... Connected to bct930. Escape character is '^T'. 200 bct930 NNTP server version 1.5.11 (10 February 1991) ready A at Fri Mar 22 18:21:11 1991 (posting ok). post 340 Ok testdata . **(!*#!&^#@^%^&*&^*&@$ unexpected quit 205 bct930 closing connection. Goodbye. Connection closed. (0)barolo:/usr/local/nntp 176$ the garbage is 8-bit data..... I do not have any mods in the source apart from keeping HZ as defined by the system instead of 60. So what's wrong?
