Check with your news provider to see if they have alternative ports
open, or run a portscan with nmap. Otherwise consider using a
different news provider. Many commercial providers allows access on
other ports and SSL encrypted connections on port 563.
Also, if you have IPv6 connectivity, try finding a news host on IPv6.
Sometimes a port is blocked on IPv4 but they forget to block it on
IPv6. :)
