So ... 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. :)
