An NNTP feed in to Mystic needs to come in via gated FTN packets, like the
fsxNet 21:1/10 HUB offers (see stats echo for an idea of what's being passed
to nodes etc.).

The NNTP server that Mystic runs is just to server up NNTP connectivity to a
suitable news reader client so you can read and post to echomail via it. But
there's no native link to hook a NNTP server in/out of Mystic's NNTP server.

Hope that makes some sense.

Best, Paul
