Well, INN behaves the same regardless of what client connects to it and
NNTP is a very simple protocol (particularly around the POST command) and
doesn't have a lot of options.  I would therefore be inclined to peer
suspiciously at the configuration of your news clients.  I wonder if
they're hanging before they even try to send any post to the server.
