There was recently a thread in news.software.nntp

            Re: proposal: separate ports for xfer and client access

It's been done. It's been allocated. It's:

nnsp            433/tcp         usenet          # Network News Transfer

NNTP remains as the reader port (obviously).



Should a comment be added somewhere mentioning port 433?
