Upon further examination of the code I notice that the initial "telnet" is indeed hardcoded in. Of course, you could also define your own 'nntp-open-rtelnet' function by copying the nntp-open-telnet function and set nntp-open-connection to that... But in general, it would be a nice parameter to be able to set. -- David Blacka Software Engineer Product Development/ davidb@rwhois.net Network Solutions, Inc. Directory Services
