Subject: Setting the number of attempts to connect.
Date: Sat, 11 Nov 95 14:05:53 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9511112205.AA0093@localhost> (raw)
I'm using a dialup to get news, which works well. Until I
started using gnus to read mail. Now, if I'm offline and want to read
my mail, I have to wait while gnus makes 20+ called to
`open-network-stream' (which on my system means running the tcp
program). I always connect to the nntp server on the first try (when
I'm online), so is there a way to ask gnus to only try once? I've
tried `gnus-no-server' but this seems not to display my backends.. :(
Thanks.
