        Let me see if I understand.  You forward from (A) your work box, to (B) 
your home box, to (C) your usenet server?

        I can grasp the (A) --> (B) no problem; I've done SSH from work to 
home, 
and used it to forward a VNC connection so I can have my pretty GUI at 
work.  However, now the stream has to get from (B) --> (C) so that your 
work box thinks it's doing (A) --> (C).  Unless your usenet provider 
offers SSH-tunneled connections, I'm a bit fuzzy on that -- how do you do 
it?
