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?
