    Sorry, I didn't notice .1.  ryn is running ultrix and feeds news
    directly.  ryn is right here in mro4 so I use that instead of the
    frsold/notes route.

4996.6Shlump down?PAMSRC::XHOST::BARRETTKeith Barrett; DECmessageQ Expertise CntrMon Aug 26 1991 16:162
For some reason, I cannot successfully run Vnews or XRN on SHLUMP; so if the
FRSOLD conferences require shlump that may be the reason.
4996.7use latest Vnews MEALA::COLLINSSTEVETue Aug 27 1991 04:4812
    
    
    something happend recently to shlump to interfere with my reading
    vnews from it. (probably software upgrade). This can be corrected
    however by updating to the latest version of vnews with get-vnews.com
    
    I doubt if this problem and the problem of the notes file on "frsold"
    not shadowing the usenet stuff are related , as FRSOLD stopped
    shadowing some time ago , whereas the problem with shlump only
    happened within the last week.

    late answer but.....
    
    YES, i use(d) SHLUMP to grab the usenet-stuff. But during my holiday
    and training weeks in August/September SHLUMP rejected NNTP-connections
    I switched to node NNTPD and now (since 3 weeks) everything should be
    normal. I heard from a collegue that SHLUMP is now a OSI/DNA PhaseV
    test-node and this causes the problems with the usenet-connection.
    
    I future i try to follow the USNET-BACKBONE-conference to discover
    these problems a bit erlier, to provide a good and reliable usenet/
    notes-feed for the DEC-Amigos.

    SHLUMP is no longer a USENET server - NNTPD was explicitly put in place
    to take over for SHLUMP.
