I've asked around in the usenet groups and have had some
help, but not enough to get the thing working.

I need an off-line newsreader, and will go with leafnode and
slrn if I can get them to work.

What I think I need is a copy of someone else's slrn.rc
preferably with comments so that I know what's going on.

I keep getting the message that it's failed to initialize
the server.

Any help appreciated.

Also think I need the change the host name of my box in a
few other files that I can't find, Gnome tells me it can't
find the internet host (of my local machine) and says that
it may not work properly.

I've doen away with M$ completely and don't want to go back,
but at the moment this News problem is getting me down.
