When I was using the agent, I had it set up so that when I did "g"
while plugged, it got my mail from my local mail spool, and when I did
it unplugged, it got the news that had been downloaded. I think the
relevant parts of my .gnus.el were:
;read news from the server on world
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.std.com"))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnml "private")))
It must have been trying to contact the nntp server when I did "g"
while plugged, but it didn't take long for it to give up.

This is what I have switched to. I don't really like it, because
leafnode is pretty slow on my setup, but it does work, and seems a
more intuitive interface than the "J j g J j g" thing I had to use for
getting mail and news with the agent.
