I have to manually go into the server buffer and hit `C' on each server to close the connection, then C-g to cancel the ensuing timeout. I have 8 servers (NNTP and IMAP) so this is slow and annoying. My questions are: 1) is there a way to close all the server connections without the connection timeout? 2) can I set the time a connection becomes inactive (so it needs to be reopened) to a few seconds? It seems to be several minutes right now. Perhaps this is not a Gnus attribute but a system-level TCP setting, I don't know how Gnus and Emacs manage TCP connections. Thanks Ted
