By golly! I think I've got it now!
1) telnet to host a
2) change escape character
3) telnet from host a to nntp server b
4) issue ^]
5) "mode character"
Presto! Couldn't be easier.
(This is that old "I can't reach that nntp server from this account
but I can reach it from that account" chestnut. It might actually
work in Gnus 5.2.33.)

Great! But I hope you will make this a new function
(`nntp-open-telnet' for example), because the old `nntp-open-rlogin'
works fine if you can modify the .rhosts file. If you use telnet it
will always ask for a password, AFAIK.

Yup. That's indeed what I'll be calling the function.

I'm likely to try these using Kerberos telnet/rlogin, neither of which
ask for passwords... so It Would Be Nice If the password prompt
checking code was optional (or maybe just only triggered if it *saw* a
password prompt...)
I thought "telnet -a" would check .rhosts on some systems as well, not
sure though. It may just save you from typing a password.

For `nntp-open-telnet' the password thing is required. If you're
using Kerberos, you should be able to use `nntp-open-rlogin', which
uses rsh. (And should be called `nntp-open-rsh', I guess.)

I don't know about other environments, but in the Kerberos/AFS environments
I'm familiar with, rsh doesn't work, rlogin is frowned upon (especially since
the release of the encrypted, auto-authenticated version of telnet), and the
use of a ~/.rhosts files is completely disabled. And even if that weren't the
case, encrypted, auto-authenticated telnet streams are a *lot* sexier than
rlogin/rsh on any day of the week. If it wouldn't be too difficult, please
add a no-password-necessary option to `nntp-open-telnet' (or make a separate
function `nntp-open-telnet-no-password'?).
Thanks,
Ed

I've now added this to the Red Gnus todo list.
