nntp addserver news.demon.co.uk 1

Plonk that on a function key and

nntp addserver news.demon.co.uk 3600

on another function key which you hit once it's connected.

It also helps if you can delete the history file. Don't do it unless 
you are sure the date in nntp.dat is correct.

If it's not going through the gateway ...

smtp wait 1

which sadly, sometimes goes direct anyway.
