Thank you for your response, but sorry to say I did not connect. I got this
error:

=E2=94=94=E2=94=80$ slrn
slrn 1.0.3

Loading /usr/share/slrn/slang/slrn.sl
Reading startup file /etc/news/slrn.rc.slrn fatal error:
Unable to find a valid hostname for constructing your e-mail address.
You probably want to specify a hostname in your .slrnrc file.
Please see the "slrn reference manual" for full details.
