The following blurb is the README from the Unix version of the TIN newsreader:

o  Based more on Notes and tass than rn type newreaders.
o  Full screen, easy to use with on-line help at all levels.
o  Reads news locally (ie. /usr/spool/news) and/or via NNTP/INN/CD-ROM.
o  Threads on Subject: and/or Archive-name: mail headers.
o  Five different operating levels:
   -  Spooldir selection level (CD-ROM only)
   -  Group selection level
   -  Thread selection level
   -  Article selection level
   -  Article viewer
o  Same interface to mail, pipe, print and save articles.
o  Auto unpacking of multi-part shar & uuencoded articles.
o  Kill & Auto-selection (hot) of articles.
o  Batch mode to mail/save new news when user is on holiday.
o  Reposting of articles from one newsgroup to another.
o  Builtin NNTP mini-inews & clientlib.c
o  NNTP extensions XUSER & XINDEX to allow central index files. 

Most of the AmigaDOS compile problems in v1.1 PL6 have been fixed in PL7.

I  have my copy from alt.sys.amiga.uucp.patches and it's save puts the
articles in `$HOME/News/...' with filenames truncated to 14 characters
(`comp.sys.amiga.misc/a4000'  becomes `comp.sys.amiga/a4000').  I only
can't save to a file `T:test' or anything like that.

The  print-function  work's  with AmigaOS 2.04 and CShell 5.19 after a
small change in `$HOME/.tin/tinrc'.

I changed the line `printer=c:type' to the following:

printer=csh -c "cat >CON:0/0/32767/32767/Druckerausgabe/CLOSE/WAIT"

This  opens a large CON-window and outputs the text.  change `CON:...'
to `PRT:' and it should work with a printer.

With AmigaOS 1.3 I had no success with this method.  I don't know why.

Ann and Arn mark the crossposts as read after you read one copy of the

Yup. For the amiga console, TIN sends the "What size is the window" string,
and expects a response. For terminals which don't support this (ie
everything else), you need to set two environment variables to tell TIN what
size your screen is (often 80x24 or 80x25, but anything is legal). These
are LINES and COLUMNS.

This line:

    S D.rimmerB02ga D.vaderB02gc root - D.rimmerB02ga 0666 root

means that your system requested rimmer to 'S'end you a file.

This line:

    Protocol Failure at (UUSPOOL:C.rimmerA02ga): S D.rimmerB02ga D.vaderB02gc...

means (by omission, really) that one of two things happened:

    a) rimmer said it was NOT "RY" (not ready) to send the file, or
    b) a timeout occurred.

You can't do anything about (a). Talk to the sysadmin at rimmer. And actually,
this can occur if you've got a dirty phone line, as the send/receive requests
are not checksummed like the actual file transfers are. UUCICO just checks for
the literal "RY" as the first two characters coming back from the other host.

You may not be able to do anything about (b), as it may be load related at
rimmer.

You can increase the timeout by adding a "-t10" to your UUCICO command-line.
I'd also go ahead and decrease the window size to "-n1". These are performance
REDUCING measures, so your overal throughput would go down. But if you are not
getting ANYTHING, this might be an improvement.

There are already a number of Amigas on the Internet (amiga.physik.unizh.ch is
the most notable one, IMO). There are a few Amigas running beta-versions of
AmigaDOS networking software out there, too. And lots of people running
AmigaNOS (including me).

AmigaUUCP does not work over SLIP. It doesn't talk SLIP, it talks the UUCP
protocol 'g'.

I'm in the process of putting together a NNTPXFER that supports the next
version of AS225 software for NNTP transfer of News. It will work with the
AmigaUUCP software, excepting UUCICO/GETTY/RNEWS.

> Its been suggested that I might be able to get a connection via dialup

AmigaNOS has an NNTP daemon/server built in. Also a POP-2 SMTP mail daemon/
server.

Much of this is also available through AS-225 and GfxBase.

> So first I need to know of a commercial SLIP for the Amiga.  And, whether

The commercial SLIP is from C=, called AS-225. I would suggest that you also
contact Dale Luck (? I think) at GfxBase and ask him about beta-testing the
next release of networking software (which is said to be RSN).

Between that, and AmigaNOS, you can certainly do everything you want. But, it
will not be with an AmigaUUCP base. You've got a BIG learning curve in front
of you...have fun!      :)

A Protocol Failure occurs when UUCICO expected a specific response to a request
that it issued, and didn't get it. You haven't given us enough information here
to help you figure out the problem. Please use send-expect debug (-xx) and a
low level of local debug (-X2) to get some more information. Also please give
us the command-line you used to initiate UUCICO.

My first guess? Too large a window size (try -n3).

Most Unix systems tend to keep a more complete log than AmigaUUCP does. You
might ask your feed site what their log says about the protocol abort.

I didn't see any FAQ for this group, so I'll ask here.  Please send e-mail,
as I don't have enough time to read this group on top of all the others.

I have a friend who is tired of using someone else's (unreliable) bulletin
board for a connection to the outside world via e-mail.  He is looking
around for a good way to set this up.  Basically, he just wants an
electronic mail connection for now.

Could some kind soul let me know how they've done it, or point me in the
direction where I might find this info? (ftp?)
