To get a newsgroup list from your server via Hamster.
It's the Argosoft news server. It may not play nice with hamster. I don't
know, I've never tried to hook the two together.
So, you're only having problems with the news server?
Index of ftp://urls.sytes.net/pricelesswarez cd/pw/Programs etc.
Though I don't know what your "warez" page means. The PL ISO files
aren't "warez".
As I stated in the readme file previous to the PW CD area...some programs
listed as "last freeware version" may now be shareware or commercial
programs. Posting a "last freeware version" as a means to circumvent paying
a registration for a license which now overrules a previously freeware
license may be considered as warez. Just like offering a keygen or an
unlocking serial. You have to look at the current license and determine if
the license states that it takes priority over previous licenses making
previous licenses invalid. It happens all the time, not just with programs,
but also with services. Look at the user rules for most any service on the
web...it tells you that the rules may change and you're subject to whatever
the current rules are. Here's another example...Pyxia IBasic. It used to
be that you registered it once and got all upgrades free. Through a set of
events which seemed lower than used car salesman tactics that has changed.
FTP FireFox and news via Hamster. Latter details can be got from my

Well, I don't think I'm going to be able to help you with trying to connect
hamster...it's kind of quirky at best. Although, there are several hamster
newsgroups where they may be able to help you. The last time I visited them
a majority of the people there were a bit "off" and would help you if you
speak German.
This is what I get using Dialog :
I haven't tried Dialog, but I can download it and check it out. OE works
fine. Some people accessing the server are using Agent/Free Agent. There
are a few Mozies and a couple NS'ers.
I would offer you my IP for a direct connect, but it doesn't look like DNS
is where the problem is. It looks like a matter of which news readers the
Argosoft server will converse with. With no knowledge of Dialog, I'm going
to take an initial guess that it may be using some newer or more advanced
NNTP commands that aren't programmed into the server. Also take into
account that the server is a "local" server, so at best you'll only be able
to get a one-way stream between it and hamster. The commands which are
particular to the typical suck/feed conversations between two "remote" NNTP
servers are not built into the Argosoft server.
