If you are trying out or testing the posting of netnews, do not use net.test or any newsgroup which leaves your machine. Each machine should have a test newsgroup so that every system on earth doesn't have to deal with your stupid test messages. If you are having routing problems with netnews, use net.test (or foo.test, where foo is the smallest part of the net that will resolve your curiosity). If you are just trying to see if the new inews works, use a group that won't leave your machine. Andy Tannenbaum Bell Labs Whippany, NJ (201) 386-6491
