Before I bother the admin of a common free news server (who I promised
if he gave me a posting account, I wouldn't be any trouble) I would
like to figure out if the problem is his encrypted news server or if
it's in mine.
It used to work but stopped working about a week ago with this "socket
error" of "Posting article failed. Socket error # 0".
A connection already open failed.
Probably your provider unless you've picked up some malware.
Snag a copy of openSSL. Grab the 64 bit version.
