In the current version of the gateway the client "identification" is missing. Since I run a usenet-server that communicates internally with another news-server, the gateway can't handshake correctly without the MODE-string.
A "normal" usenet-client sends "MODE READER" to a server before the authorization, and a usenet-server sends "MODE SERVER" to another server, because of the different article-transfering modes. This usually is based on IP, so if a server is configured to handle feed-traffic, it also treats a local client as a server - which is wrong.
It doesn't happen often, but it happens and may be important for some.
