How can I get linux to maintain a list of active newsgroups?  When I try
to subscribe to a new group, pine has to check the nntp server for the
active groups.  If I want a list of available groups, pine must get the
list from the server and then get it again when I actually select the
group I want to subscribe to.  There has to be a way of speeding this up.
I run on a 28.8 connection.
