I am running XEmacs on SunOS and Gnus prints a message about
   Connecting to NNTP server and then just hangs.

   I wonder if you're hitting the infamous libresolv problem. The basic
   problem is that under SunOS you can compile either with DNS or NIS
   name lookup libraries but not both. Try substituting the IP address
   and see if that works; if so, you need to download the sources and
   recompile.
