That's a pretty heavy-weight approach, but is a
possibility.  I've already got code that will
transfer data via binkp, and I can read and parse
FTN messages; I just need to stream those to the
NNTP server and add some glue code, then write
a little more to accept streamed NNTP messages
from INN, translate those to FTN format and send
them to the hub and again some glue code.
