[TriLUG] accessing mail.trilug.org, port 993

[Alan Porter]

I noticed recently that I can not check my trilug mail from
home, but I can from work.  I use the same laptop in both places.
I thought it might be a problem with my own firewall, or perhaps
a blocked port.  So I tried this test.

FROM WORK
---------
"telnet mail.trilug.org 993" connects OK
"telnet mail.trijug.org 993" connects OK   (note different server)


FROM HOME
---------
"telnet mail.trilug.org 993" hangs
"telnet mail.trijug.org 993" connects OK   (note different server)


It's not my mail client... I am using the same laptop.  It's
not outbound port 993 being blocked.  It's not my firewall rules.

What could this be?
