Whatever your sysadmin told you, your firewall isn't blocking NNTP.
You aren't talking to that NNTP server with the telnet protocol in
this case, just the telnet program. You should be able to have gnus
talk to the server directly too unless your firewall can detect a
connection from the emacs program versus one from the telnet program.
If that's the case just rename your emacs binary to telnet and you'll
be all set (do I really need the smiley here? :-)
