+;; 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.
