I had to bang on migration-support several times, but finally Ryun Noble 
set me up with a working news.verio.net username/password.  (and damn, 
it's FAST!)

For an interim solution, you can ssh to your migrated account, and do 
port forwarding -- forward localhost port 119 to news.verio.net port 
119.  This works around the authorization step :-)

Cheers,
Rob
