What port does this news server operate on?
I can ping it, but not connect on the default 119 port... anyone know why?
Thanks!
 
My best guess is that it's down, like always. Unfortunately the server is very unreliable and only works every now and then. Whee it does work,, the speeds are unbearably slow. It does seem to be working for me at the moment. Just to make sure, are you using the right address? news.is.co.za
 
As I said
