Basically--- HELP!!!!

  I'm attempting to get a USENET feed for our HP 9000/835 and am running
into a few problems.  I used to use nn(6.4) when we had access to a 
remote server, but we've since been disconnected and are forced to set up our
own server.  I went and got nntp(1.5.11) and started on my merry way.  Believing
of course that because it said it had been compiled on an 825 it would work
on our 835.  Misconception on my part.  

  I sent a note to some folks involved directly with nntp and one of the 
questions posed was why not use B-News or C-News.  Seems as though they had
not tried interfacing it with nn or am I too nieve about nn to know that it
is very similar to one of these programs.  Please enlighten me.  I liked the 
user interface with nn and would like to continue using it if at all possible.

  If anyone could lend a guiding light, I would greatly appreciate it.
