Version: 2.2.5 Release

Pentium II, 300MHZ.

This machine refuses logins, yet responds to pings.
It boots normally, but after a random period of time
becomes catatonic.

This machine is running INN.

Here;s a sample attempt to login:

duke% telnet news
Trying 209.81.9.56...
Connected to news.via.net.
Escape character is '^]'.

(It never gets beyond this point)
