Message-ID: <ptv672el1g1.fsf@scratchy.maths.bath.ac.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE's message of "17 Aug 1999 17:04:28 +0200"
It is. Sorry I missed it.
I still can't make it work though. Setting the foreign group's select method
as indicated:
(nntp "firewall"
(nntp-address "cornucopia.maths.bath.ac.uk") ; my firewall machine
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
(nntp-end-of-line "\n")
(nntp-rlogin-parameters
("telnet" "news.freshmeat.net" "nntp")))
I restart gnus, and gnus apparently succeeds in talking to
news.freshmeat.net, since I get in my group buffer
59: nntp+firewall:fm.announce
Right. But when I select the group, I get the "Fetching headers..."
message and it gets stuck.
I'll try and look deeper into that but now it's time to go to bed.
Max.
One more question, tough. Why isn't it possible that gnus connect
*directly* to the foreign server using telnet? Apparently talking to a
external news server through telnet works (through the firewall):
> telnet news.freshmeat.net 119
Trying 209.207.168.124...
Connected to freshmeat.net.
