OK, I followed the instructions as faithfully as I could:
1) went to the server buffer
2) created with "a" a new server "news2.teleport.com"
3) used "e" to edit parameters as follows:
(nntp "news2.teleport.com"
(nntp-address "user1.teleport.com")
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
(nntp-rlogin-program "ssh")
(nntp-rlogin-parameters
'("-x" "-C" "telnet" "-8" "news2" "nntp")))
4) I still get "denied" on opening, even though:
ssh user1.teleport.com -x -C telnet -8 news2 nntp
works just fine from the prompt. Where do I look next?
And this is urgent. I just found out today that on *thursday* this
ISP will be cutting over from news1.teleport.com to news2.teleport.com
with *different* article numbers, so I need to do one of those funny
resync moving things.

if it's what I think it is, either fetch a newer qgnus,
or in function nntp-open-rlogin in nntp.el,
change the
(nntp-wait-for-string "^\r*200")
to
(nntp-wait-for-string "^\r*20[01]")
since teleport answers with "hi, no posting".

That's not it. In fact, it comes back *waaay* too fast for it to even
be firing up ssh. Where can I stick some debugging on this?
Felix, It even fails when I try news1.teleport.com, which *does* allow
posting. I'm reading offsite using the username/password
authentication instead, but news2 doesn't allow that yet.
Argh.

ok, better answer. (which I actually tested :)
1. delete the ' in the parameter below:
(nntp-rlogin-parameters
'("-x" "-C" "telnet" "-8" "news2" "nntp")))
2. apply the patch below to nntp.el.
diagnosis:
nntp-open-rlogin pastes all the nntp-rlogin-parameters
into a single arg, which ssh barfs on. this patch passes
the strings as separate args, which does an equivalent
thing without loss of generality.
(there's a small backward compatibility problem, but it
shouldn't affect anyone unless someone tries to use a
really weird program instead of rlogin or ssh, and the
workaround is pretty simple.)

bingo! that did it!
Now to figure out whether writing a Perl script to do the message-id
remapping will be faster or slower than letting a bunch of gnu-lisp
code chunk through this.

I know which would be faster for me to write...
Lars, who spent the better part of Sunday converting his Perl
cancel-spam script to elisp.
