Select Method for Connecting Through a Proxy

Select Method for Connecting Through a Proxy

[Jake Colman]

I hope I'm not duplicating myself but I was having trouble posting to this
group.  I think the problem has been resolved so I'll try posting this again.
If it's a duplicate, I apologize.

Our ISP has screwed things up and the machine used for development is no
longer able to access the ISP's News Server.  Other machines on my network,
however, still do have access the necessary access.  I want to set up gnus
to login into one of my other machines and then to access the ISP's News
Server from that other machine.  This should be doable, and I did RTFM, but
no can do.

Here are two things that I tried:

      '(nntp "Globix"
             (nntp-address "delaware")
             (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
             (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
             (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")

In both cases "delaware" is a machine on my network to which I can telnet or
rlogin.  The rlogin succeeds without a username or password.  What am I doing
wrong?

I don't wish to use ssh at this time.  The easiest thing for me would be a
solution that transparently logins to delaware, accesses the remote IP news
server on news.globix.net, and just pipes everything back to me.

TIA!
