I do not know `gnus-no-server', I have always just used `gnus-unplugged'.

I would not be surprised if the plugged functionality is not
necessarily active in all the different ways you can start gnus.

Well, in my case, I did "^", entered the agent in the server, hit "q".
Unplug gnus, exit Gnus, pull out network cable, do M-x gnus-unplugged.

Gnus still tries to contact the server.  Eventually times out; says
do you want to continue?  I say yes.

Go back in server menu with "^", enter agent with J a and it
says it's
  Entered nntp:news into the Agent

which leads me to thinking it "forgot" about it somewhere in
the process.  This could be the cause of my problems.  :-)

Dunno how to fix that though...

smoothly.

I used it ages ago.  Maybe Alain knows?

But for using such things, it's probably better to use the most
recent Gnus from CVS, even though that has its own issues...
