If you never get through to an Ascend, and you're using ka9q (a guess
from seeing you're using Snews as a news reader), hae you upgraded to
net.exe version 2.16d? When ka9q starts up, it should put up a banner
reading:

KA9Q NOS version Demon Internet (2.16d)
                                     ^ that d is a must!
Otherwise you'll never get past the motd and HELLO from Demon.
