It's doable. I haven't followed this thread, so:

newslink.js is for outbound synchronization of Synchronet message bases with NNTP servers. I believe it has some config info at the top of the file and maybe in the wiki.

nntpservice.js is Synchronet's NNTP server, an NNTP interface to all of your message bases (depending on user's access level, etc.) NNTP clients/peers can connect to it.

If you want the user connecting to nntpservice.js to be able to post using "from" names other than the user's own alias, then you must set the Q flag on that user account. (Not sure if this is what tenser was looking for.)
