I have installed ANU-News V5.8 on a VAX running VMS 4.7 and am trying to
feed it from an Ultrix V3.0 system running News V2.11.  After the text of 
the first article is transferred to VMS, the connection seems to die.  It
appears that Ultrix is waiting for a response (perhaps the 235 message).
Below is the Ultrix nntpxmit debug log (SUNSET is the VMS node name):

200 sunset VMS NNTP server version 5.8 ready at Fri Sep 29 16:39:59 1989 (posting ok).

On the VMS side, a .TMP file is created in NEWS_MANAGER containing the text
of the aritcle, but it never gets put into the system.

Any help on this matter would be appreciated.  This is the first major 
article I have ever posted on NEWS.
