Subject: Can't connect with nntp-open-telnet

My usenet server will only allow connections from the pitt.edu domain...
While I'm at work I can't read news, from the FAQ I thought the
following might get me around that problem:


(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "firewall"
            (nntp-address "unixs.cis.pitt.edu")
            (nntp-open-server-function nntp-open-telnet)
            (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
            (nntp-telnet-user-name "madst38")
            (nntp-telnet-passwd "XXXXXXX")
            (nntp-telnet-parameters       ("telnet" "usenet.pitt.edu"
"nntp"))))

However this only replies with:

        Loading gnus-group...done
        Opening nntp server on firewall...
        Denied server

I'm a relative elisp-virgin, how can I receive more debugging info, or
did I just screw up the parameter list?
