+;;  a problems with it, set the variable `nntp-buggy-select' to T.
+;;
+;; (2) Emacs may hang up while retrieving headers since too many
+;;  requests have been sent to the NNTP server without reading their
+;;  replies. In this case, reduce the number of the requests sent to
+;;  the server at one time by setting the variable
+;;  `nntp-maximum-request' to a lower value.
+;;
+;; (3) If the TCP/IP stream (open-network-stream) is not supported by
+;;  emacs, compile and install `tcp.el' and `tcp.c' which is an
+;;  emulation program of the stream. If you modified `tcp.c' for your
+;;  system, please send me the diffs. I'll include some of them in the
+;;  future releases.
