		Ask HN: Protocol Translator to/from NNTP

		Many stuff (including this Hacker News) uses protocols other than NNTP. Is there the protocol translator programs to use with NNTP clients? I recommend to implement NNTP on your server instead though, but, if that won't do then the protocol translation program is the second way.

The NNTP client software I wrote allows this, if instead of the port number you put ! and a shell command, will create a socket pair and execute that shell command connected to it.
