kick merely starts the client.

But the client, when started, does not issue a MODE READER. This is only
required (AFAIK) by INN which must be persuaded that you are not another
news machine. You could probably get the INN reconfigured to tackle
this. Alternatively recompile KA9Q to include the command (a SMOP I
should think).

Turnpike issues MODE READER since this does no harm, and some
occassional good, but there is no necessity to use it with any Demon
machines (the main purpose of the DIS NET.EXE).
