Thanx! I tried this, yesterday, with the following setting: (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news" (nntp-address "news.chello.no") (nntp-end-of-line "\r\n") (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-netcat) (nntp-via-address "somehost.dyndns.org") (nntp-via-rlogin-command "ssh") (nntp-via-rlogin-command-switches ("-x" "-C" "-e" "none")))) I tried it with different values for the nntp-via-rlogin-command-switches. It doesn't work in that I can open the server in the server buffer, and browse the available groups. But if I wait it out, it doesn't report a failure when opening the server, and it is listed as "open" in the server buffer. I also immediately get error messages like "503 Service unavaiable" (because I had more than five separate connections from the same IP address). So I guess it sort of works, but is slo-o-o-ow. I wonder why? When I do an ssh to the somehost.dyndns.org doing nc news.chello.no nntp I immediately get back a response from the NNTP server.
