Step one: use SSH.  You don't want passwords bouncing around in the clear.

Step twp: use Netcat (nc).  It works like telnet except that it is totally
clean and transparent.

Step three:
  (setq gnus-select-method
	'(nntp "news.gweep.net"
	       (nntp-address "sidehack.gweep.net")
	       (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
	       (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
	       (nntp-rlogin-program "ssh")
	       (nntp-rlogin-parameters
		("bin/nc" "news.gweep.net" "nntp"))))
  (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods nil)

Where "bin/nc" is the path to the netcat executable on the news server.
