I have been using it for a few days - with limited success.
`nntp-send-authinfo´ and `nntp-send-authinfo-from-file' both hang
after sending my password to the server. Pressing C-g clears up things
and afterwards the server connection seems ok i.e. I can read news. If
the connection to this host is lost (timeout for example) I have to go
thru the same contortions again (press C-g if Emacs seems stuck). This
works but is horribly kludgy.
