Yup.

To INN, it behaves basically just like a port 119 connection, so you can
send the same basic commands to it.

You don't have to wait for the reply to quit.  I'm not sure if you have to
wait for the replies to the cancel commands; that depends on whether INN
flushes the buffer on a write error, and I haven't looked at that code to
see if it does.
