Protocol error with rsh means probably that the connection has been
accepted then cut (thanks to TCP wrappers ;-).

Concerning the telnet thing, have a look at the latest Gnus:

(defvoo nntp-telnet-parameters '("exec" "telnet" "${NNTPSERVER:=localhost}" "nnt
p")
  "*Parameters to `nntp-open-telnet'.
That function may be used as `nntp-open-server-function'.  In that
case, this list will be executed as a command after logging in
via telnet.")

(defvoo nntp-telnet-user-name nil
  "User name to log in via telnet with.")

(defvoo nntp-telnet-passwd nil
  "Password to use to log in via telnet with.")
