Hi, I'm a little confused by my connect problems with my news server.

Basically, for some reason it gives up after about 10 seconds. 

I don't quite understand why it does this because my /dev/tcp is set
to the default 5 minutes or at least something higher than the 10
seconds it takes for gnus to quit trying. This has probbaly very
little to do with GNUS but I figure the tcp stuff in Emacs should be
using the default rather than this very short timeout I'm noticing.

NOTE: My server doesn't help much either. I mean it usually takes a
few nntpsend's before it will send the stuff out.

It as if my Solaris installation has a hell of a time opening two
connections to the same host/port combination. I'm running so
unlimited server 2.5 so that shouldn't be a problem.

Here's some timings whilst slurp is running bringing in news.

Connect took  8 secs ( 0.01 usr  0.01 sys =  0.02 cpu) seconds
Connect took  6 secs ( 0.01 usr  0.00 sys =  0.01 cpu) seconds
Connect took  9 secs ( 0.01 usr  0.00 sys =  0.01 cpu) seconds
Connect took  7 secs ( 0.00 usr  0.00 sys =  0.00 cpu) seconds
