[comp.sys.mac.comm] Problem with TheNews 2.02

sverre@lars.seri.gov (Sverre Froyen) (06/21/91)

I have a problem with the TheNews version 2.02.  It is running
on an SE/30 (with system 7) and talks to a Sun 3 via a FastPath 4
gateway.  The Sun is running nntp 1.5.10.  The problem is as follows:

I can connect to the Sun and get the list of groups.  I also get
the correct number of unread and available articles in any
group I select.  However, if I choose the read menu item
TheNews pops up a "Fetching header lines" message for about
a minute and then declares "The server has gone south".  This
happens for goups with just a few unread articles so it is
unrelated to the previously discussed problem of having a large
number of unread articles.

Ideas?
