/***
 * This is a trivial example using the NNTP package to approximate the
 * Unix newsgroups command.  It merely connects to the specified news
 * server and issues fetches the list of newsgroups stored by the server.
 * On servers that store a lot of newsgroups, this command can take a very
 * long time (listing upwards of 30,000 groups).
