in my .gnus.el:
(setq
gnus-select-method '(nntp "PRIVATE-NEWS.my-isp.com"
(nntp-server-opened-hook (MERLYN:nntp-authinfo-for-my-isp))
))
(defun MERLYN:nntp-authinfo-for-my-isp ()
(nntp-send-command "^.*\r?\n" "AUTHINFO USER randal")
(nntp-send-command "^.*\r?\n" "AUTHINFO PASS duh-you-think-I'd-tell-you?"))
Don't bother trying this for real.... this is an example, kids. :-)
It *would* have been nice to have this be a paramatized function, but
I didn't have time to fuss around. I need to save the time for
newsreading. :-)
