;; Troubleshooting of NNTP
;;
;; (1) Select routine may signal an error or fall into infinite loop
;;  while waiting for the server response. In this case, you'd better
;;  not use byte-compiled codes but original source. If you still have
;;  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.
