Hello everybody!   
      
   Since I've not seen any comments or anything about the ticket I entered, #6,   
   https://sourceforge.net/p/ftnapps/jamnntpd/tickets/6/   
      
   This is a *possible* resolution...   
      
   I can't test as I have no verified working JAM base setup to use, yet...   
      
   So maybe some one can compile it and determine if Pan and KNode will then   
   connect, since they won't now since the MODE READER command is not implemented.   
      
   Basically just fake them out... since they STRICTLY follow the RFC and thus   
   that command must work or they won't connect.. other NNTP clients may be more   
   forgiving in this, but these ones are not. And in the case of PAN I am pretty   
   sure they will say JamNNTPd is not compliant to the RFC's and won't workaround   
   it. Hell they had some hissy fit over SSL libs...and now their SSL support is   
   fubar'd.

               socksendtext(&var,"." CRLF);;   
            }
