size=2>tunnel starts without any apparent problems (log looks normal), but
simply doesn't intercept packets from my news reader. There is no activity in
the log and sniffing the packets shows everything happening on 119. My
understanding of the concept is that there are no configuration changes needed
in the newsreader; IOW, I leave it pointing to the unsecured NNTP server with
the port set to 119. I fear I'm missing something very
obvious.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
