More to the point, why is your software trying to establish a connection
if it is already connected ?

AIUI you should only be in a position to get the 400 return code during
connection. It seems then that your software must connect once to issue
NewNews, then a second time to retrieve it. 

I don't recall what platform you are using, but it might be worth asking
in the relevant specific group (eg demon.ip.support.winsock) to find out
whether your newsreader is behaving as it was intended to do.
