Hi,

I use UMTS at home.  Sometimes, the connection is so bad that I have a
download rate of 0 for several minutes or even hours.

The problem: if I start Gnus in this situation, Emacs gets frozen
forever.  I get nearly 100% CPU usage, but nothing happens anymore.
Even worse, I can't break up.  C-g, ESC ESC ESC, nothing has an effect.
Also closing the UMTS connection makes no difference.

Is there any way to I improve this?


Thanks,

Michael.
