     I've been playing with NewsGrazer and Louie's SLIP package of late, and
a couple of questions have arisen:

     On SLIP: I have a Supra 2400 baud modem, and have had trouble configuring
              it to something SLIP likes.  When I bring up the link for the
              first time, SLIP dumps, saying it has lost carrier (not true).
              In fact, it does this every time if I don't set CD on in the
              modem full-time.  If anyone has any ideas on settings, I'd like
              very much to hear from you (as to why SLIP at 2400 baud, it's
              better than no network connection at all :-)!!!

     On NewsGrazer:  Does NG actually *do* anything with /usr/lib/news/active?
              It seems to make precious little difference whether the file is
              there or not, as far as coming up is concerned.  It always
              seems to check the active groups via NNTP (at 2400 baud, this
              takes a good while), and I was looking for a way to speed
              startup for the few groups (all low traffic, except for c.s.n.m)
              I've been testing NG with.

     Many many thanks to Louie for his way-cool SLIP package, and to the 
folks behind NewsGrazer for developing (and supporting) the premier NextStep
newsreader!
