I have been having a lot of trouble using rn over dialup.  About half
the time I try to initiate it the thing just seems to hang.  After
I finally get tired of waiting for 10 minutes for it to start I kill 
it with control c.  I get a message like:
	Bye Bye
	caught an internal error .newsrc file restored.


Any idea what is wrong?  Once in a while the same thing happens when
it runs across a 'bogus newsgroup'  (what is that anyway) on start
up.

Also, how does one start a new news group?

Thanks
