For all the normal reasons (firewall, port forwarding, service isn't actually running/listening, wrong port number, etc.).

Start by trying to connect using netcat or similar tool running on the same system that sbbs is running on.

e.g.
$ nc localhost 119
200 Vertrauen News (Synchronet 3.20a-Linux NNTP Service 1.134)

Once that works, move on to using the public IP address, public hostname, etc.
