Hi all!  I'm working on my second ever perl script for a school assignment
and running into a quirk that I can't seem to figure out.

If I telnet to an nntp server that requires authentication and issue a
command without authenticating first, I get an error message "480
Authentication Required"

However, in Perl, when I open a socket connection to a news server that
requires authentication, issue a command, and wait for a response,
everything hangs.  It seems rather odd that it would hang when telnet
doesn't.  Is there any way around this (without using the NNTP module - I'm
not allowed to)?

Thanks,
Rick
