Hello everybody!   
      
   Well after some experimenting...   
      
   V2.0.0/beta Linux solves this.   
      
   There is a quick "hack" to JamNNTPd which makes Pan .133 - .139 and Knode   
   work..   
      
   I've connected, got a list of the groups which is the ORIGINAL fault.. and   
   retrieved an article....   
      
   I've not went further ie: posting or anything, yet...thats for later work to   
   ensure that Jam bases are not fubar'd.   
      
   This is also ONLY a partial solution due to the way JamNNTPd parses input   
   commands...   
      
   but it does let PAN and Knode work.   
      
   A rework of another function is needed to have this *PROPERLY* responde to the   
   full command... JamNNTPd parsees the input in a way which I have not quite   
   resolved yet...and with out a fix here too it would break JamNNTPd's other   
   commands and/or flat out crash the program.. which I am guessing why the MODE   
   READER command was not implemented.   
      
   but this does make the issue go away.   
      
   The parseinput: lines are my hacks at var dumps for something...which is a WIP   
   at best...   
      
   As I suspsected it appears that some clients when they get the 500 response   
   from JamNNTPd 1.3 and others with out my patch just continue on.. example   
   thunderturkey, I'd have to have some authortative RFC guru tell me which is   
   the correct method....   
      
   When the RFC's were written INN was the server..there was a setting which sort   
   of preempted this for SERVER < - > SERVER...
