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.
