Normally it should look like:
telnet localhost 119
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to myhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 NewsCache 1.2rc5, accepting NNRP commands
quit
205 Good bye
Connection closed by foreign host.
Logfiles: you can get more messages, if you a) add in syslog.conf:
news.debug /var/log/news.debug and send a HUP with killall -HUP syslogd
and b) if you configure Socket++ and NewsCache with --enable-debug. With
--enable-debug Newscache produce a lot of messages.
Configuration: send your configuration, but don't forget removing
sensetive private data. You can produce a output of the currently used
configurationfile with: newscache -p
You can also check:
netstat -tlp
Do you use specific iptables rules? (iptables -L)

I know, that Outlook works very well with NewsCache. With Outlook
Express i does'nt know it definitiv, but i think it should be work also.
