Using a new compuserve account, I want to configure it for the use of
agent (or free agent), my favourite offline-newsreader. I am using
Windows 95 and a modem dial-up 28800.

Somewhere I read to change the cis.ini to
[External Applications]
news=C:\PATH\agent.exe /SDDE
so I did.

Opening CIS-Dialer and trying to go online with Agent brings me an
error: operation timed out.

Opening Wincim I only find the option usenet within cim or ascii, or
it opens netscape.

Trying to connect with the win95 tcp/ip stack within agent brings me
another error: ERROR_PROTOCOL_NOT_CONFIGURED.

Somebody knows a solution for my problem?

Thanks in advance
Chris
