Continue (y or n) It seems like some code was removed from nntp.el sometimes during Christmas break, specifically the code providing for external tcp-processes (like the method Emacs on OS/2 uses). Anyway, after checking the diffs between nntp.el for version 0.26 and 0.27, I've added some code from 0.26. It seems to work pretty well. I hope it helps.
