I'm trying to add the "XPAT" command to my news-client,
but my server replies with "501"; ie. 'Command not supported'.
So I'm asking for the URI of a free-server which is known to
have the XPAT facility enabled. Please.

If I could access a server which handles the 'XPAT' facility,
I'd be able to hopefully complete the coding & testing of
this facility on my news-client software.

Netscape's server "secnews.netscape.com" supports XPAT.

When I telnet into that server, I appear connected. I get the

Connected to secnews.netscape.com (204.29.187.156).
Escape character is '^]'.

response, but no cammands work. Nothing happens except the local echo
of commands. What am I missing, here?

No problems here. I notice that I get a different banner message.

pjr@sarge:~$ telnet secnews.netscape.com 119

It being a secure server, I was using port 563.

Trying 204.29.187.156...
