Could I just mention that for some of us the question is not "will work let
me see LugNet" but "can I make our firewall let news through". And the answer
is yes. But I did that because I needed a message off the Borland server, and
the Lugnet hit was just to make sure it worked [1].
And really, people, should we be working this hard to give your employers
reasonable grounds for dismissal? Because at least here, violating legitimate
security measures instituted by the company for its own protection *is* legal
grounds for instant dismissal. And a firewall is exactly that.

[1] Truly. news.borland.com typically takes >2s to respond, and is often
unreachable. Lugnet is always there and is fast, so I know that if I can't
get it then the problem is at my end.
