I do have the same problem here, and it's tnos related, i thought 2.20 or
2.02 did the job OK here. But after some upgrade it didn't work anymore.

With slnr (low bandwidth new reader) i get only:
# slrn
slrn 0.8.8.4 (BETA)
Connecting to server at `my-tnosname' ...
Posting ok.

That's all.

I informed Brian Lantz about this, but there was not that much attention
then.

Argh! All right, so how am I supposed to work with Linux when
everything's already been done?! Can't these people leave some
broken MSDOS like parts so there's problems left to solve!?....
