   Or better yet, has anyone made notes talk via nntp?

Nope.  NNTP depends upon "article numbers" which are an artifact of
the news "database".  Notes doesn't have article numbers, and they
would have to be added in order to implement NNTP.  I doubt that
anyone has done it.

   I am interested in Notes because of its access permissions facility.

Then don't use NNTP, because NNTP can't tell you who the client user
is, so there is no way to do access permissions.  Apparently there is
a version of NNTP that uses the Kerberous authentication system, but
that is definately non-standard and not yet available.
