- One way is to run script, then telnet to the NNTP port of your neighbour and
- issue a LIST command. (Don't do this at 2400 bps!)
-
- Another way is to point a remote rn to a site that allows you to poke at
- their NNTP server and after it starts up, suspend it and scarf the active
- file copy out of /tmp (Of course, rename your .newsrc file before doing
- this since article #s at the other site will be different)
