Always accept and providers are APN from Forte Inc. and gmane.org

two servers, Gmane and Forteinc.com
Both set as primary and both set to 563, always accept.

It was an upgrade via Mint 13's update manager, and also I am running
the Mate DE.  I tried groups on both APN and gmane.  Same response,

Connecting  0/1  alt.os.linux.mint

then adding this group:

Connecting 0/2  gmane.comp.apps.pan.user

While doing this, the screen was frozen, except for the event log.  Event log
was totally blank.   Could move mouse,
but no response from pan.  I had to use force-quit to exit.

Since I am running this version of Pan(0.137-1) from Debian Sid unstable 
on LMDE 201204, Mint 13 (Mate) and Mint 11;  I will redo the upgrade and
get more information
