INN 2.2.2 to 2.3.1

[Edwin Yau]

Can anyone help?  I have 2 questions:

a) I would like to upgrade from INN 2.2.2 to 2.3.1.  Can I just use make
update or does it require a new install?

b) Our news feed has suddenly stopped dead on midnight 10th Jan.  Everything
seems to be running ok and nothing has changed at our end.  I can telnet to
our news feed provider on port 119.  We usually receive news and propagate
it onwards to users within our company for reading.

Our last daily usenet report is as follows:

It basically says no connection.
