Nearly every time I attempt so send a news post or mail the `Ctr-c' meets with an interminable hang. Ditto for refreshing news `Alt-g' or `g' Kill out with Ctr-g then follow with the same command and it works as expected. This nearly always... there are rarish occasions with pressing the commands gets the desired response immediately. Something to do with my internet connection perhaps... but is there something I can do with gnus that will not allow the connections involved go stale? ... something like a `keep-alive' type signal. Some way to make gnus call the necessary connections every few seconds? Maybe with-out actully carring them through?
