Can someone tell me what the problems might be. If your own node entry (the node that LISTSERV/NJE is running on) has a :newnode entry, LISTSERV/NJE will not initialize. The solution is to edit the local copy of BITEARN NODES and remove the :newnode. tag for the node that LISTSERV is running on. Since the continuation of BITNET isn't much of a factor, it doesn't matter to the other BITNET-related tools. > by converting to LISTSERV/TCP or a Unix version.
