[news.eclipse.technology.wsvt] Re: can't get wsvt plugin working

[dhiraj@xxxxxxxxx (dhiraj)]

Hi,
  I have a similar problem with installing the WSVT plugin. I am using
Eclipse 3.1.0 platform version. Any known issues?
  As an aside, would be good if someone can help me setup my news account.
I tried configuring a news account using my mail client (Thunderbird). But
it cannot connect to the news server [news.eclipse.org]. Telnet on port 119
fails !!!

Thanx,
dhiraj
