If an nntp session hangs and one resets the socket (tcp reset <&tcb>) 
in order to be able to establish a new session, KA9Q closes nntp.dat 
with the start time of the session, just as if the session had 
completed normally. This seems wrong to me.  I believe that nntp.dat 
should be closed unchanged, just as it does if one exits from KA9Q 
with the nntp session incomplete.

Is there any presently available way to break the connection with an 
nntp server without hanging up and re-starting KA9Q and without 
updating the time record in nntp.dat?

Regards,
