Over here at Tufts, we get our newsfeed from bu.edu.

The feed there is bigger and has a wider selection of groups (especially
those ever fun "alt" groups) than here at Tufts.  Unfortunately, while we
can transfer information from the bu feed, I can't connect directly with
GNUS and just read the groups remotely.  

When I do, I get the error message "Sorry, you're allowed to transfer
only."  I've been asking my sysop to add a few groups to the jade feed, but
he's been dragging his feet - probably with pressure from above.

My question - is there a way I can set up in my own account a way to 
transfer posts from groups over at BU?  For instance, if I want alt.peeves
and it isn't available on the jade.tufts.edu feed but is over at bu.edu, is
there a way I could create an alt.peeves file in my directory and then 
go over to bu via nntp and transfer the posts over to my own account?

This would solve some irritating trouble for me.  Thanks much for
any and all help!
