Hi,
I have a brand new DSL connection, the machine is an IBM TinkPad 390X
running Linux Red Hat 9. I'm running emacs 21.2.1 with gnus 5.9.0. I've
created a minimal .gnus.el (following the gnus tutorial online):
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.free.fr"))
and when I start gnus with the command M-x gnus, it displays a few
messages includung "Reading active file from [...]" and then it gets
stuck displaying
nntp read: 17k
Sometimes, after stopping and re-starting gnus and emacs, I've managed
to get a higher figure than 17, but I've never got the list of
newsgroups. After some time, I interrupt with C-g.
On the other hand, using Mozilla's newsreader configured for the same
server, everything works fine (that's how I'm posting).
Any idea how I can further investigate this ? any suggestions for
debugging ?
Thanks,
Joao
