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?
