Thank you. I was running it with the -h option, but I didn't have
to before. I had both above mentioned files in /etc though.
/etc/nntpserver contained news.smaug.com (no good) and
/etc/news.server contained my actual news server. Now it works
fine.

Thanks again.

PS- hopefully I've learned a lesson here...always scour /etc
thoroughly before posting!
