Yes that's my understanding although I have yet to test all of this.

news.bbs.nz is the server I run that the gateway software at 1/10 connects
with. The NNTP server does not (at this time) carry the fsxNet FTN echos.
You should be able to poll it to obtain the usual big 8 Usenet
newsgroups / hierarchies as read access is open to all. Post access requires
authenticated login. There are a few groups like nz.test and agency.test you
can use though to test against.

Feel free to netmail me with any other questions :)
