Re: knoppix at place of work



<snip>


Can you telnet into the newserver?

$ telnet servername nntp


of course the isp at work is not the same isp i use at home
but i thought i should still be able to log on the any news server i wanted to...


Not if they block the port (119)

[...]

thanks for the reply...
next time i get to the office early i can try to telnet.

i don't know if they are blocking port 119
as i can log on to *one* newsserver using that port...
but not with two others i use
.
