I have posted the following problem several times under several subject
headings but have not gotton any replies. Some of this may be because of
some intermitten problems I am having getting my posts to actually hit the
lists and part of it may be that my messages are simply being missed. I
_know_ that people out here know how to do this. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
My access to the news server will only work if done via some other machine
acting as a conduit.
newjersey is the system where I run XEmacs
delaware is the system to act as the conduit
news.globix.net is the system which hosts the news server
How do I set up my primary select method to make this work? I have tried two
different forms of select method:
'(nntp "Globix"
(nntp-address "delaware")
(nntp-end-of-line "\n")
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
(nntp-rlogin-parameters "telnet" "news.globix.net" "nntp")
'(nntp "Globix"
(nntp-address "delaware")
(nntp-end-of-line "\n")
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-telnet)
(nntp-telnet-parameters "telnet" "-8" "news.globix.net" "nntp")
Shouldn't this work?
PLEASE HELP!

What you are showing should work. I have this server, and it works
nicely:
/----
| ;;; Editing the server.
| ;; Type `C-c C-c' after you've finished editing.
|
| (nntp "quimby"
| (nntp-address "bonny")
| (nntp-rlogin-program "ssh")
| (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
| (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
| (nntp-rlogin-parameters
| ("telnet" "quimby.gnus.org" "nntp")))
|
\----
Looks a lot like your first variant, no?
You might wish to try to manually establish a connection to your news
server:
rsh -l USER delaware telnet news.globix.net nntp
Do you get a connection when you do this?

Sun spots.... That must be why I was having problems. The examples I posted
most certainly did NOT work. I cut and pasted an example from the gnus texi
docs, modified it accordingly, and now its working just fine. Go figure.
This cost me a week of aggravation....
