[Pan-users] Port 119 blocked - no newsgroup access!

[Maurice]

Last week I was in a French (Aix-en-Provence) hotel whose WiFi access 
was blocking Port 119, so could not use Pan to access newsgroups.

Is there an alternative port I could have used, or any other workaround?

(Hoping for an early solution I tried to post problem last week on Pan 
mailing-list, but was told: 

"You are not allowed to post to this mailing list, and your message has
been automatically rejected.  If you think that your messages are
being rejected in error, contact the mailing list owner at
address@hidden"
  Tried emailing list owner but no reply!)
