Hi everybody,

I`m desperately looking for a better NewsReader for TCP/IP 1.2.1.
The one that comes with the package is almost unusable.

First of all I can subscribe to a number of newsgroups but I can
read only the first one I'm subscribed to. I get the subject list
fromn the other groups but when I try to read a message it beeps and
just marks the message with a small "1" digit.

So my question: Is there any cure for that or is there a better rn
or perhaps "tin" or something available somewhere. Perhaps someone
already ported the supplied RN to 32-bit ?

Please respond by e-mail.

Thanks and regards from Austria -- Tom Leitner

P.S. TALK has its problems as well. I just tried (while I write this
message) to talk to someone on a different OS/2 machine (i.e. we tried
to talk from OS/2 to OS/2) and succeeded only afted a couple of
attempts. Talking to the Sun is impossible. Any ideas ?
