I do recall that vnews worked under 4.1, though, so you might try to get the 4.1 supdup to run on top of the 4.2 chaosnet interface. Other than that, vnews works ok (more or less) if you are not supduping anywhere (even works with telnet). I personally have had troubles bringing up vnews on a unix/370 but I think (among other things) it does not work because there are problems with our termcap. In addition, it wouldn't go away when a kill -9 was applied to it. -- Hug me till you drug me, honey! Greg Skinner (gregbo) {allegra,cbosgd,ihnp4}!hou2e!gregbo
