[Haskell-cafe] Parsec and network data

Are you still having trouble with this?

Take my opinion for what it's worth - I'm no Haskell guru - but for me,
your basic approach is unsound.  I would implement the network service
input data stream myself, with timeouts, encryption, whatever as required,
and then apply the parser to available data as a simple, pure function
that returns NNTP results and whatever data remains.  So the parser would
never see any streams or handles or anything, it would just get strings
to parse.
