I have bad news :-( Last night I tried to use the -t 2 switch and it
died on me again. So unfortunately that was not the solution. However,
I tried to set up three telnet sessions with my news server, as you
suggested. There were no problems. I could even open a fourth one.

Maybe I should debug VSoup, as you suggested in an earlier posting.
Unfortunately, I don't have a C-compiler for OS/2 to compile VSoup with
the debug-switch on. Maybe you can compile it for me and I can get it
from your homepage. Or do you have another suggestion? I really would
like to solve this problem now.
