Re: Error Message: Unable to connect to News Server

news.telkomsa.net is an alias for news.saix.net. Both have the same
IP address. The server is definitely live, but I was not able to connect
to it on port 119. That's not unusual because some ISPs restrict
usage to users actually on their network. Were you in fact connected
to the Internet via SAIX when you got that error message?

This is unusual since I had no problem connecting to news servers before.
