workaround -- vucsm.prac.casus @home

There is a workaround for getting access from outside the vu network, as suggested by Kees Bot:

For me, it works with the command (in cygwin bash shell)


  plink -ssh -L 119:news.few.vu.nl:119 flits.cs.vu.nl
  
and I think that this also works with a student machine.

The news server/group is then, in the browser, available as:


  
  news://localhost:119/vucsm.prac.casus
  
answer yes to the question server: localhost !

The putty suite can be obtained from:
