Hi, I've just acquired a Demon account to see how it shapes up. I spend
most of my time at Cix, but also have a full net account with Zynet which
I use mainly for web stuff. I had the Zynet account before Cix started
their Internet service. Neither Zynet nor Cix are local calls, so when I
discovered that Demon had 100% local call access I thought I'd give it go.
Web surfing is just too expensive on anything other than local call charges
IMO!

I've got STiK and CAB going with Demon okay, but Oasis and NOS are giving
me trouble. I use Oasis occasionally with Zynet without problem, although
I generally do my mail and newsgroup stuff through Cix.

If someone could mail me a working sample STARTUP.NOS file I would be most
grateful....

ATM, NOS seems to log on to Demon, but when I press F3 to kick the
news server it waits blankly 2 minutes before disconnecting me out  (...or is
this normal Demon service  :-)))

Oh, and I'm using a Falcon 14meg if that helps.

TIA,

Phil
