Howdy,

I am news to news administration and just got a news feed going 
here without too much trouble until I tried to use rn. We need 
it so that we can use the rrn version and NNTP (is that all 
that is needed for remote reading?). Anyway, I installed rn 
patches to #46. I compiles but cbreak mode doesn't seem to work. 
I refuses to respond to anything except and interrupt and that 
make it pretty useless. I compiles as a USG system and uses
terminfo. Vnews work OK.

We are running on a Sequent S81 (386 processores) with their
PTX UNIX. For all practical purposes, this is System 5 Rel 4.

Can anyone shed any light?

Thank you,
Gary Barnette
