Subject: Local News Only Possible with Pine3.90 under FreeBSD 1.1.5.1?

I have pine 3.90 installed on a box running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and I can 
read the news just fine but cannot post.  I am running c-news and only 
have local news.  Pine complains that it cannot find an nntp server.
I tried localhost and the host name to no avail.  Is it possible to post 
to local news only under Pine 3.90?

I use pine3.90, can read and post to localhost with a port redirected to
my remote nntpserver and works with a term connection. This is with 
Linux 1.1.50. Pine thinks it's posting to localhost, even in actuality,
its not. This is due to the NNTPSERVER environment variable being set
as localhost.

Hope this helps.
