Hello everybody!

Well after some experimenting...

V2.0.0/beta Linux solves this.

There is a quick "hack" to JamNNTPd which makes Pan .133 - .139 and Knode
work..

I've connected, got a list of the groups which is the ORIGINAL fault.. and
retrieved an article....

I've not went further ie: posting or anything, yet...thats for later work to
ensure that Jam bases are not fubar'd.

This is also ONLY a partial solution due to the way JamNNTPd parses input
commands...

but it does let PAN and Knode work.

A rework of another function is needed to have this *PROPERLY* responde to the
full command... JamNNTPd parsees the input in a way which I have not quite
resolved yet...and with out a fix here too it would break JamNNTPd's other
commands and/or flat out crash the program.. which I am guessing why the MODE
READER command was not implemented.

but this does make the issue go away.

The parseinput: lines are my hacks at var dumps for something...which is a WIP
at best...

As I suspsected it appears that some clients when they get the 500 response
from JamNNTPd 1.3 and others with out my patch just continue on.. example
thunderturkey, I'd have to have some authortative RFC guru tell me which is the
 correct method....

When the RFC's were written INN was the server..there was a setting which sort
of preempted this for SERVER < - > SERVER...
