I'm also running OS/2, so maybe that's a factor, but I'm running
19.30, not 19.29, so that's not the reason for (my)
problem. Byte-compiling seems to work fine for me(I get the same
message about open-network-stream not being known to be defined, but
those are pretty common). However, the fact that the TCP.EXE process
doesn't even start does seem to imply that the problem may be with
some changes to nntp.el.

What's wrong with using poppoll? It works fine for me.
