Souper (OS/2) news postings rejected

I recently started using Souper for OS/2 to retrieve Usenet news for
offline reading with Yarn 0.91. (I had previously been using uqwk on
my Unix shell account with my ISP, but I started running into constant
segmentation faults and similar abends while collecting headers with
uqwk, so I decided to switch to Souper on a SLIP connection--which is
actually running under the Slirp emulator on the same shell acount with
the same ISP.)

I have no problems collecting mail and news articles with Souper, and
no problems sending email over the SLIP connection; but whenever I try
to post a Usenet article or follow-up, I get a message that the posting
requires authentication, and the posting fails.

I'm generating the postings in the same way I always did, using Yarn;
and I infer that the message headers are the same as they always were.
I never had an authentication problem using uqwk. Can anyone help me
figure out why it's different with Souper, and what I can do about it?

Thanks.
