In Jason> that case, I started by simply asking if anyone at all uses or Jason> has used Gnus with an NNTP server requiring username/password Jason> authentication. I got no responses, so as far fetched as it Jason> seems, no one is. I have been using it for a few days - with limited success. `nntp-send-authinfo´ and `nntp-send-authinfo-from-file' both hang after sending my password to the server. Pressing C-g clears up things and afterwards the server connection seems ok i.e. I can read news. If the connection to this host is lost (timeout for example) I have to go thru the same contortions again (press C-g if Emacs seems stuck). This works but is horribly kludgy.
