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?

This should work, I think, although these things often take some
fiddling. I've yet to come up with something that seems to work on
more than a couple of systems at a time. :-)
I would suggest `M-x edebug-defun' on `nntp-open-telnet' in "nntp.el"
and SPC through it an see what happens, while keeping an eye on the
output in the " *nntpd*" buffer.

I don't think he mentioned which version of Gnus he is using, but as
he is posting this to the ding list it is probably Red Gnus, and in
that case `nntp-open-server-function' must be replaced with
`nntp-open-connection-function'.
