Configuring Troll to Authenticate to an NNTP Server

I was curious if any users have had the need to provide a username/password
combo for an NNTP server.  We require the ability to pass along a
username/password combo to our ISP's Typhoon NNTP server.

Are there any hidden paramters in Troll for sending along this information?  

>From my understanding there are two methods to authenticate, depending on the
NNTP server, one could use the following notation:

nntp://<username>:<password>@news.my-isp.com.  

I've replaced this in the server field and Troll does not interpret this
nomenclature properly.

And I guess the other method would be to interactively login via the NNTP
session (which I've done by telneting to the NNTP port on the server).

Thoughts?

Thanks!
