Does anybody know how I'd go about using a UMAX Astra 1220P under Debian?
I installed sane, but looking at the docs it seems as though the only

Can anybody point me to some info on how to get trn to read from the news
spool created by slrnpull? I thought trn was capable of reading from a local
spool, but the documentation only seems to talk about reading from an NNTP

Seems to me it sets it right... ie, it leaves it how the original

Running dselect (ftp method, connecting to ftp.debian.org, using the stable

debianutils 1.6 or greater... but the most recent version of debianutils
available is 1.5. What's up?

I was running fetch this afternoon, and noticed it was downloading messages

I'm having trouble figuring out how to properly configure my system to
allow the sending of usenet messages. After playing with various packages
and the instructions in various HOWTOs and man pages, I got to the point
where I could read fine, but any attempt to post resulted in something
