Hello netland.
I am trying to install news on Xenix/286 2.3.2 with Excelan's TCP/IP package.
I have compiled NNTP 1.5.8.  I have installed nntpd in the /etc directory
and added the proper entry to my rc file.  /usr/lib/news/nntp_access exists
with the following entry:

default read post
demo read post

Where demo is the name of my machine.  
Nntpd refuses any attempts at connecting to it, even a the root user.
Right now all I want to do is telnet to socket 119 and get into nntp.  
I don't want to have to compile and install all of nntp, and Cnews in order
to test it.  Is a complete set up neccesary necessary test nntp?  I really
would appreciate ANY help.
