  Let me clarify, so we're talking about the same thing. I have not been
able to feed a C news site from a B news site, where the B news site is
running on SCO Xenix. I have been able to feed B news to BSD, SunOS,
Xenix, and AT&T V.3.2 sites, so I assume the ihave end is working.

  How this relates to feeding one C news site from another I can't say.
It may be that all the sites running C news are staffed with people who
can't make it work, or that the documentation is less than clear. Your
"very careful attention to the documentation and examples" leads me to
believe that it's at least somewhat tricky, and feeding from a B news
site may or may not be related.
