Connected to rpi. Escape character is '^]'. 200 rpi NNTP server version 1.5 (26 Feb 88) ready at Wed Feb 22 10:53:45 1989 (posting ok). group rpi.acm.3b2 411 Invalid group name. group rpi.acm.3B2 211 1 3 3 rpi.acm.3B2 slave 202 Kinky, kinky. I don't support such perversions. quit 205 rpi closing connection. Goodbye. Now, since Masanobu says GNUS doesn't do anything to newsgroup name, and the NNTP server doesn't do anything to the name it receives, I suspect that it is something wrong in inews. People using Pnews from rn don't have any trouble posting to the group. So now, and inews people out there who can account for this? Thanks.
