My current experience, which is a new one on me, is managing to eventually 
connect to the News Server (ta for the STARTUP.NOS suggestions BTW), 
getting 501 NEWS GROUP message, Oasis uploads the relevant file, then I 
get either Failed, try again later or another one which syas something 
like group not available. If I let the automation continue I get a series 
of these messages while connected to the news server, the news session is 
ended, yet I've had no indication of news waiting to be downloaded. 

This has been all the more frustrating as I've had a number of points to 
make on the subject of how crap Demon's service had become of late. I 
write the postings in reply to others, and by the time I manage to get 
properly connected the discussion has moved on....

So here's my pitch for the day - hope you get it sometime this week!
