Maybe you need permission to access that server from the servers owner?
When I try to access it, I get:
$ telnet news.mel.connect.com.au nntp
Trying 210.8.230.24...
Connected to news-south.bur.connect.com.au.
Escape character is '^]'.
502 You have no permission to talk. Goodbye.
Connection closed by foreign host.
$
What happens if you telnet to it on the nntp port?
Best regards,
