Subject: reading news over telnet
Date: 17 Aug 1999 15:33:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ptvaerqa343.fsf@scratchy.maths.bath.ac.uk> (raw)
The domain my computer is connected to does not allow me to connect to
foreign HTTP servers (it firewalls out requests). I can always telnet
to some other machine outside that domain and start gnus there, but it
isn't practical at all. Is there a way to tell my local gnus to read a
foreign group by connecting to a particular machine first
(rlogin/telnet) and by fetching the group contents from there?
I suspect nntp-open-connection-function must be related to what I need
to do but I haven't figured out how to use it.
Max.
