I was getting the 480 transfer permission denied message with non-Demon
newsservers, too, until I got the NOS version NOS_POP3.ZIP from August
1995. That will allow you to post to non-Demon newsservers. Demon Internet does
things a lot different than most other ISP's. Because OASIS and NOS were
developed in the Demon environment, it created a lot of problems for 
using them with American ISP's. Another problem with NOS is that it relies
exclusively on the NEWNEWS command to get news. Most American ISP's have
disabled that command on their servers because it is considered too slow and
inefficient. So now I can post through the newsserver at my ISP, but I have to
get my news through the public server at Demon, which is very slow and usually
busy.

WHERE TO FIND NOS 

The umich ftp site has the NOS version you need. I suggest this mirror:

ftp.toad.net

pub/umich/Network/ka9q/Nos/nos_pop3.zip

You can also get OASIS in the same directory. 

Good luck,


Matthew
