I am a little bit astonished, that your ISP limits your number of
connections to only two. Could you please verify that this is
correct? Just try to set up three telnet sessions to your news server
(telnet -p 119 news-server).
And than anyway, VSoup should not get stuck, if it cannot open a
connection to the news server. This is possibly a bug and I will
check it (but how??)...
