Diehards do what it says on the tin ;-)

Noted, ta.  Will give it a try later

So do I, though I tend to collect news at quiet times via an 
automated (and usually unattended) session, so a fkey doesn't 
help.  I even added "$nodial nntp kick" to autoexec.net for a 
period when the time server wasn't responding at all.

But since posting, I've looked through the GremNOS source and as 
a result made some additions and re-orderings in autoexec, so 
will see if that makes a difference.

Personally I'll be very grateful to be in the same job...
