Perhaps you're having the same problem I have.  I use various DSL and 
cable connections to log on to my shell account.  Since the migration, 
Verio tells me that news access will require using a Verio connection 
(which, for me, means dial-up access, something I haven't used for 
months).  Tin prompts me with a default username before telling me 
authorization failed for username mcduffee, followed by 502 
Authentication failed.  Trn doesn't prompt me for anything, just gives 
me a "Failed to open news server ca.news.verio.net:" followed by "480 
Authentication required".
