I haven't been able to connect to LUGNET's nntp server today. I am using Netscape's news client and it just hangs before connecting. I have been using the news server without problems until today. Is something up at LUGNET's end? I tried setting up (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
