all v6 newsservers except xs4all down

Hello,
in the FAQ-section under cool things to do with v6 there are 3 public and open v6 newsserver mentioned:
News Host ISP Size Availability
newszilla6.xs4all.nl Xs4all 40+ Terabyte public
news.ipv6.scarlet-internet.nl Scarlet 4 Terabyte public
news.ipv6.estpak.ee Elion public
I'm using the nt6tunnelscript in order to get my v4only-newsreader working:
NT6tunnel.exe -v 119 newszilla6.xs4all.nl 119 maps the xs4all-server to the local port 119 - I'm doing the same with scarlet for 120 and estpak for 121.
XS4ALL:
The first one is working fine for me and I can connect with up to 3 simultaneous connections. A telnet localhost 119 gives a nice login-message:
201 dreader10.news.xs4all.nl NNRP Service Ready - newsmaster@xs4all.nl (no posti
ng). That's fine and I can also ping the server.
SCARLE-INTERNET:
The problem is with the other servers... they're not answering properly!
telnet localhost 120 resulsts in a blank screen and nt6tunnel complains about a refused connection:
<164> connection refused (dreaderd-1.news.ipv6.scarlet-internet.nl,119)
The server is unpingable.
ESTPAK:
When trying the estpak-server the result is similar to scarlet:
<156> connection refused (news.ipv6.estpak.ee,119) The server is down but I can ping it.
Any idea what's wrong here? Is it a local problem or a problem with the servers?
Are there any other free newsserver (read only) one could use?
Thanks

I suggest you contact the operators of these news servers. They may very well have changed the policy.

Hi,
the ESTPAK server is for ESTPAK Users only, i think.
Moreover, the SCARLE-INTERNET server is down.
I also would be interested if there are some more IPv6 free newsserver. Perhaps one with write access.

Hello,
I just got the confirmation from Scarlet that their service is down and they don't know if it will ever come back :-(
Thanks for providing us with this service in the past.
Maybe someone could update the FAQ-section here on the sixxs-website?
