Preliminary testing suggests that it IS working.

Should I be urgently reading up on "unix" so that I can help out with
the Mailman NNTP server betas ?   :-)

Bye the way, I would strongly suggest to Barry that he consider
contacting Thomas G. Liesner, the guy who wrote Hamster. Hamster 
is a windows freeware news/email proxy server 

His home page is here http://tglsoft.de/ . An English download page is
http://www.arcorhome.de/newshamster/tgl/misc/hamster_en.html
His address is Thomas G. Liesner <hamster AT tglsoft.de>

This is a top class program that I have been using for over ten years.
Thomas has done a great job and appears to be a very nice guy.
Hamster source code can also be downloaded from the above 
link.

I would not be surprised to find out that Thomas has some unix
knowledge and/or knows someone who may have done some work 
towards porting it to a unix platform.

Here are some screen shots I did ages ago FWIW.
