Right. 

My rooftop radio, which has a setting for the IP address, does hand my 
home broadband router a static IP address which is one off from its own
static IP address.

The home broadband router, on the other hand, hands out (via WiFi and 
Ethernet cable) private addresses of the form (192.168.1.xxx), and these
change at will.

But, none of them will affect the static IP address of the radio itself, 
which has to be the one that my WISP assigned to me, or he'll get upset.

I'm *sure* I can "steal" a static IP address assigned to one of my 
neighbors, or, even an unused one from my WISP's pool, but, again, 
this is a small operation with only about 100 customers in toto, so, 
he'd know what is going on in seconds (and I wouldn't do that anyway).

So, I'm left with finding a clever way to change my IP address, given
that it's static in the first place. 

Tor works only for the http protocol AFAIK. I saw that others said TOR
works for NNTP but I have *never* been able to get that to work, despite
having tried multiple times. The problem is detailed because the client
nntp news reader has to interface to Tor which isn't a web client at
this point.

So, if anyone here actually has gotten Tor to work with NNTP, especially
on Linux (where I am on most of the time), a step-by-step explanation
of how to accomplish that would be immensely helpful and appreciated.
