Sounds like you need one of those little stay-connected programs. It's
designed to prevent disconnection by pinging the server every few minutes or

Well, with the newsserver we both use, it's not a huge deal; I'm using
'slrn' as a newsreader, which authenticates for me and I don't lose
anything, just get the two second "reconnecting to server ...." message.

Plus a lot of news servers forbid the use of those programs.
