decwrl's contract agreement with CSnet specifically forbids us to carry
USENET over the links. I believe that hplabs' agreement does, too.

By the way, we use a scheme built around rcp and special-purpose shells for
copying news over IP/TCP links; we find it a pleasant and efficient
alternative to NNTP (not that NNTP isn't pleasant and efficient).
