    Well, I dont understand the problem: can you (or he) explain it
better, or at best record a nntp session and mail me the log file together
with his startup.nos? Making sure he deletes all password info... Or if
the file isn't too big he can post it here (if he has access to d.i.s.a)
so we all can try to help.

    To record the session he must before logon type in NOS direct mode
"nntp trace 3", "verbose off" and then "record filename". Then do the
polling session, and exit. A filename file will be in the spool folder
containing all what was on screen.

    Actually I can try to guess something: isn't he trying to download
*ALL* newsgroups? There has to be a valid NNTP.DAT file, with the
correctly spelled newsserver name, and the list of groups to take... or a
list of groups in the startup.nos (nntp groups or nntp addserver
commands). Otherwise NOS will ask the server for all news in all groups!
