No, it is a little Perl-script that prints out on screen
all the traffic it passes through.  That is how I know
that NNTP-server sends a correct reply in the beginning
of a connection but Gnus/XEmacs doesn't react to it.

Maybe I expressed myself badly in my previous post,
but I don't get Gnus working with or without port forwading.

I don't see how I could have messed that one up, since like I said
I correctly get the first response line from NNTP-server.

Which I indeed did for 2 days before posting my first question here.

I guess my followup question is: Is anyone actually using Gnus
on Win XP and XEmacs?  Does the combination work?
