The docs is very poor about how to fiddle with the params for telnet,
browsing through the source I have managed to come to the following
conclusion: 

(nntp "news.solace.mh.se"
      (nntp-open-server-function 'nntp-open-telnet)
      (nntp-telnet-user-name "flognat"))

But where do I put the name of the machine to connect to? I have also
tried:

(nntp "machine.to.connect.to"
      (nntp-open-server-function
       'nntp-open-telnet)
      (nntp-telnet-user-name "flognat")
      (nntp-address "news.solace.mh.se"))

But I only get a Unable to contact server: message.
