 @c If you're running Gnus on a machine that has a dynamically assigned  
 @c address, Gnus may become confused.  If the address of your machine  
 @c changes after connecting to the @acronym{NNTP} server, Gnus will simply sit  
 @c waiting forever for replies from the server.  To help with this  
 @c unfortunate problem, you can set this command to a number.  Gnus will  
 @c then, if it sits waiting for a reply from the server longer than that  
 @c number of seconds, shut down the connection, start a new one, and resend  
 @c the command.  This should hopefully be transparent to the user.  A  
 @c likely number is 30 seconds.

 How long nntp should wait between checking for the end of output.  
 Shorter values mean quicker response, but is more CPU intensive.  The
