Are there any circumstances where Gnus is magically using ssh, without me telling this *explicitly* in .gnus?

Well, this leaves as most likely explanation, that the News server itself closes the connection after a period of inactivity. I have now, thanks to the previous posts, the following near perfect solution, that, if I see that Gnus "hangs", I hit a key which reopens the server. But Netscape Messenger obviously does this automatically, so I would be interested to know if I can teach this to Gnus too. In other words, is there a hook which is executed before *every* access of the News server (but not for gnus-close-server and gnus-check-server)? I could then call there my function for re-opening the server, which currently looks like this (simply copied over from the friendly soul who posted it in this ng): (defun retry-news () "Close news server then try to reopen every 30 seconds until connection (interactive) (gnus-close-server gnus-current-select-method) (while (not (gnus-check-server)) (sleep-for 30) )) Or is there a better way to achieve my goal?
