   Few NNTP servers are, other than INN, BUT they need to respond to the command   
   as if they were.   
      
   They just need to fake out the readers which insist on this before doing   
   anything.   
      
    ml> your news   
    ml> clients would know this if they used the CAPABILITIES request as noted   
      
      
   Ummm.. Just FYI .... JamNNTPD does NOT RESPOND to this!

   An NNTP server when it gets MODE READER, should respond:   
      
   200 some text

   Seems to be a good way to "*fake*" out PAN and KNode which issue this command   
   before doing anything else like LIST to get a list of the groups.
