Eric has used the NNTP changes I made to news 2.11 as his basis for NNTP support.
To my knowledge, they have not been beta tested at any NNTP site. I tried
to beta it here and it doesn't work without changes to nntp itself. 
Hopefully, Eric will get back in touch and we'll get it checked out.

I don't remember what the bulk of the changes are now, but there are
alot of them. News 3.0 is NOT compatible with nntp 1.5 as it stands.
