I wished it was this easy. Problem number one: At home I've got a dialup
connection and I don't like Gnus agent, so I've got to use a local nntp
server (That's hamster in my case).
Number two: At university I've got no admin rights and have a quota of
only 50mb which I exceed almost daily so I can't set up a newsserver.
