I have a Pentium running FreeBSD behind a firewall.  I'm trying to access
a news server on the net outside the firewall and am really not sure
how to go about it.  Has anyone tried doing this either with INN or
some similar program pulling a feed through the firewall, or with 
NN or some similar program using the news server through the firewall's
proxy server ?  If you have any suggestions, I'd be grateful to
hear them.

Rohan.
