However it is no longer possible to read any article (resident on the server). Following is the error message I get : Connecting to NEWS SERVER on node esat... ERROR-Cannot connect to NEWS SERVER on node esat ERROR display cannot access item text. ! esat being the decnet node name of the server Protocol being used is DECnet.It seems that due to the relative 'quickness' with which these messages appear I seem to be able to conclude that no real DECnet link is even started. I sometimes noticed this kind of behaviour using V5.7 too but then one could often recover from this situation by issuing a read request for the same article again immediately after the first one. I copied V58A directly from ANU using PSI_COPY,VAXC 2.4 and VMS v5.1 being used. Perhaps some updates to v58a were ever posted (must admit I 've been out of things for a while lately) ?
