Hurray for pine 3.90!!!!
Thanks to the pine development team....but I need some help
trying to sort out usenet news reading:

After configuring the our news server with pine I get
the following error when attempting to read in the news groups:

 [Can't connect to hermod.uio.no,143: Connection refused]

I have been unable to find out what this error actually means.
Hermod.uio.no is our nntp server and runs as most on port 119.

Does anyone have a clue as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

R:)

It looks like you have a news-collection configured for IMAP access 
rather than NNTP access.  You should have

	news-collections=*{hermod.uio.no/nntp}[*]
	                                ^^^^^
