SFF Net <http://www.sff.net/> had similar problems and has the following page
of documentation on how to reconfigure your newsreader:

   http://www.sff.net/maintenance.asp

If you read LUGNET via the web interface, please disregard this.  This is only
if you read via NNTP.

Due to a recent distributed denial of service attack, we have shut down NNTP service on port 119 to prevent further service interruptions. Alternate ports 1119, 8000, and 8080 are still available. --Todd (23 years ago, 26-Sep-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.announce) !!
