This is rrn (patch 54). Start rrn. Read some articles. Wait 2 hours. Now there appears to be a problem, since the nntpd-process on the NNTP- server has timed out, causing the rrn-process on the client to exit un- gracefully: the terminal is left in unsane mode [noecho, cbreak, etc.]. Sample output: ******** 61 unread articles in comp.dcom.modems--read now? [ynq] y rrn: server response to GROUP comp.dcom.modems: 503 Timeout after 7200 seconds, closing connection. ******** 115 unread articles in comp.editors--read now? [ynq] y Now your prompt appears, and your terminal is left in an unsane mode. [noecho, cbreak, etc.]
