Does anyone else receive scrambled text from their feed site?
I have been getting this since forever from kcdev in K.C,?
I've talked to the administrator about it but he doesn't seem
to have an answer. The symptoms are that for any given 'cat'
which I issue to read anything (not just USENET stuff), I receive
about one screen full of clear text and then only scrambled text until
the end of the file. During one very long 'ls' I noticed a pattern,
each line after, I think the first buffer, was skewed one place
and the message numbers were similar to what they should be, but
not quite. I have tried setting my 'stty' to every imaginable
variation as well as setting 'stty' on the 'kcdev' end. No Luck!
Also this only seems to happen when I'm calling from my UNIX-pc (7300)
or my 3B1. I'm real tired of 'grep'ing only 10 files at a time
to read the Subjects and having to use 'ed' to read the news.
Also this does not happen when I access "kcdev" from my terminal at
work, which is direct connected via ISN. Any Help will be welcomed
KCDEV is a 3B2, if that helps.
