• Sync NNTP on SmartPhone

    From Ed Koon@VERT to Fido.SYNCHRONET on Monday, May 22, 2017 17:26:01
    Hi Everyone..

    Have NNTP working on my desktop using Winders Live Mail. But using a news reader Android app the initial handshake verification of username and
    password is ok. But the app times out trying to download a list of available groups. I presently have around 180 Fidonet conferences installed.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks, Ed

    Try looking at the server log output, enable debug output in your nntpsever.js (add -d to the nntpservice.js command-line in your ctrl/services.ini file). This will likely help to isolate where the problem is happening.
