Sounds like you aren't used to NOS yet....

Once its logged on and you've got past the ascend problem (which 
sometimes occurs) NOS is pretty stable, probably the most stable of 
any comms program (STiK and CAB etc. are pretty close, but still under 
development, and don't support SMTP mailing or usenet. and ICE with 
Oasis 2 is getting close also... a few more bugs etc.)

Once you've got the net prompt you may need to 'kick' the newserver, 
by typing:

nntp kick

and the mail server by typing,

smtp kick

if you type ? you will get an idea of some of the commands that can be 
used.

If you need some more help, or suggestions on which commands to use 
mail me.. the docs are pretty comrehensive, but don't really tell you 
what Telnet is used for, and so you can miss things like this !!!
