cyberia.darktech.org / 67.77.79.199 doesn't respond to 'ping', I was able 
to get onto port 23, and even able to "GET /" on port 80, but port 25 just 
gives me 

	telnet: connect to address 67.77.79.199: Connection refused

So either you're not accepting connections on that port or you're being 
blocked furthur upstream.
