FYI: Here's a response from migration-support on that subject as sent
     to another migrated user.

The next problem was trying to read news. This problem 'appears' to
have just been corrected this evening.

10|NNTP authorization seems to be required from ???.best.vwh.net
10|to read news from either news.verio.net [129.250.35.102] or
10|ca.news.verio.net (aka sea-read-dyn.news.verio.net) [129.250.35.204].
10|
10|My userid and password do NOT seem to be the correct things to use.
10|
10|I have tried both '/usr/local/bin/tin -r' and 'emacs -f gnus'
10|and they failed to get me any joy.
10|
10|I suspect that you need to administratively permit host 130.94.xxx.xxx
10|to connect to 129.250.35.102 for NNTP. Please grant this access,
10|or please advise what alternatives should be used.
10|
10|     Thank you,

10|Gritty details:
10|
10|Doing a 'telnet news.verio.net nntp' provides me the following:
10|
10|> telnet news.verio.net nntp
10|Trying 129.250.35.102... 
10|Connected to news.verio.net.
10|Escape character is '^]'.
10|200 Authorization required for your host/ip (Typhoon v1.2.2)
10|quit
10|205 GoodBye
10|Connection closed by foreign host.
10|>
10|
10|Attempts to fetch articles without authorization return the
10|
10|480 Authentication Required
10|
10|error.

Here was the initial response to the nntp problem...

11|Mark,
11|
11|You are correct, the IP block your account is on needs to be
11|authorized to access the news.verio.net news servers.  This is a
11|known issue and should be resolved soon.  I will follow up this
11|morning and see what the status of this is.  In the meantime, the
11|website http://groups.google.com might be a temporary alternative
11|until this is fixed.
11|
11|thank you very much for your patience in this matter.
11|
11|regards,
11|
