Request - accessing ucam.adverts.accomodation

[jack]

I'm currently in the grad cafe off mill lane. I need to post a message to ucam.adverts.accomodation cancelling my house advert. Could anyone:

(1a) Tell me if/how I can use nntp-serv.cam.ac.uk from not a university connection
(1b) Tell me if there's another news server which carries that newsgroup
(1c) Tell me if/how I can read news ssh'd into srcf
(1d) Laugh at my ignorance and suggest an obvious answer I've missed, or tell me it's impossible

(2) Post a message for me?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you can use trn or slrn on the SRCF to followup. However without jumping through hoops I'm not sure if there's another way. Certainly that's the only news server. Anyone with a Hermes account could followup for you though - I can if your SRCF adventures fail.

a) Get PuTTY
b) Set port forward for 119 to nntp-serv
c) SSH to inside CUDN machine (have I yet told you how you should have got a SRCF account..)
d) Use localhost as newsserver.
