nntpfw -- an NNTP protocol port forwarder

At Franz Inc. we no longer host our own news server, we use the news
server of our ISP.  Since our ISPs new server requires authentication,
this change from internal to external new server would require each
person using the old news.franz.com to change their setup.  The
program presented here means no change in setup.  This program 
logs into the real news server on behalf of the internal client and
supplies the proper authentication information behind the scenes.
Since it runs on a host still called `news', the the change was
almost completely transparent.  The `almost' is there because the
article numbering changed, which was client visible.

The build it:

	:cl nntpfw.cl
	(build)

or just type `make'.  You'll need to choose the location of the Lisp
to use in the `Makefile' if you use `make'.

Configuration: create /etc/nttpfw.cl and set the configuration
parameters like.  For example:

(defparameter *host* "news.host")
(defparameter *authuser* **auth"login acct")
(defparameter *authpass* "password here")

`authuser' and `authpass' can be `nil' if they are not needed (which
makes the program fairly useless).

To execute:

	nntpfw/nntpfw &
