   which RFC? CAPABILITIES is not required by RFC977 or by RFC-2980... JAMNNTPd   
   doesn't suppport 3977, 4643, or 4644... someone has gotten something mixed up   
   somewhere... JAMNNTPd is still a Model T... it is not a Lexus... you can have   
   any color you want as long as it is black...

   6.1 The NNTP protocol   
   ---------------------   
   JamNNTPd supports most of the basic NNTP protocol as specified in RFC-977.   
   The commands IHAVE, NEWGROUPS and NEWNEWS are not implemented, but at least   
   give valid response codes if a newsreader tries to use them. JamNNTPd also   
   supports the XOVER and AUTHINFO commands as specified in RFC-2980. XOVER   
   never sends information about the line counts and byte counts of messages.
