Good news -- you can now connect here via NNTP using ports 8000 and 8080,
in addition to the standard NNTP port 119.
If 119 (the default) works just fine for you, then there's nothing you need
to change. Otherwise if you're behind a firewall or something, and 119
doesn't work, you can try 8000 and/or 8080.
Disclaimer: Before trying an alternate NNTP port, it is your responsibility
to get approval from your local sysadmin or MIS Department if you are behind
a firewall and port 119 is blocked. Use the alternate ports at your own risk.
