"foros1" running Notes!  Gack, I'm being insulted!!!!  Nope, "foros1" is
running Netnews 2.10.1 (soon to switch to you-know-what), and I fixed the
line-eater bug myself.  "hpda", on the other hand, I have definite
worries about.  For some reason, their system never responds to "sendsys"
requests, which seems to indicate that they're not running the latest
software.  (How long ago was "sendsys" invented?)

				Happy hacking!
