It would if it were Nos 0.45 and not 0.42 ... I believe that cannot handle 
more than 19200 anyway!

It sounds like you aren't doing anything right :) Finger is Finger,
Telnet is Telnet, Finger != Telnet :)  To do the post thing you need to
type:
finger allatsea@post

et voila! You can just type 'F' instead of finger BTW.

I think it SHOULD be able to but as I had an ST I never managed it,
anyway 19200 should be able to handle about 4k/sec (if the port can take
it) if compression is on and about 1.8k/sec with it off, I only used NOS
0.42 and could acheive about 1600cps with the connection dedicated to
news this is with 14.4 modem & STe.

Misunderstandings....

finger node@post.demon.co.uk

   gives you a short list of how many mesages are on each punt

ec ac
tel sdps.demon.co.uk 666
(then enter node and password)

   gives you the long list with senders' names, subjects and lengths

Regards,
Andrew
