I strongly advice you to have a look at the program Hamster, it's a local news- and mailserver for Windows. You install it, tell him from which pop servers it should retrieve mail and from which nntp-Servers it should retrieve which groups, then you tell Gnus to read news from localhost, read mail via pop3 from localhost, too and send mail via smtp to localhost. >From the point of view of Gnus you are now always connected, if you are really connected you tell Hamster to get/send mail and news. This is the setup I use, too BTW. You can get Hamster (it's free, open-source software) from http://www.tglsoft.de/ if you've got problems regarding the program, there's the Usenet hierarchy hamster.* (People speak German in hamster.!en but English in hamster.en.*) MFG Frank -- One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
