This should work, I think, although these things often take some
fiddling.  I've yet to come up with something that seems to work on
more than a couple of systems at a time.  :-)

I would suggest `M-x edebug-defun' on `nntp-open-telnet' in "nntp.el"
and SPC through it an see what happens, while keeping an eye on the
output in the " *nntpd*" buffer.
