Subject: Re: PINE 3.95/Compose

If I may also ask a question, We are running 3.90 version on AIX 3.2.5.  
Everything has been working good so far, till until Internet provider 
changed the newsserver name from "nntp.crl.com" to "nnrp.crl.com".  Now 
even after changing the name in .pinerc, I get the error  message, Can't 
connect to nnrp.crl.com,146: connection refused. I have checked putting 
this name one by one in pine.conf and pine.conf.fixed, but no result.  
Also, on typing tin, it automatically seems to connect to the old name 
:nntp.crl.com.  BUT, when I specify "export NNTPSERVER=nnrp.crl.com", 
then it connects fine for tin.  I believe, this was configured during 
compile time.  I will appreciate for some ideas, and if you think it does 
need to be recomplied, how exactly do I do that, because I have never 
installed pine myself before.

Thanks a lot for an early response,

You didn't say *where* you had made the name change.  I suspect it wasn't
to the "nntp-server=" variable.

If you do have nttp-server set to:

  nnrp.crl.com

make sure that news-collections is set to:

  *{nnrp.crl.com/nntp}[]

Don't quote me on this, but I'm thinking that if Pine is trying to connect
to nnrp.crl.com,146 that means at port 146.  On my system that isn't
anything (according to my /etc/services), but nntp is at port 119.
