Resuming an nntp connection?

[Hart Larry]

Thanks Geoff-and-Tony:  I know I need to explore Leafnode.  As far as Alpine, 
its worse than trn about larger groups.  With alpine or pine  you can set a 
range-and-only load a most recent 30thousand articles.
However, my actual inquiree was how to resume grabbing in a current session, 
after a network outage.
And yes, I see lots of slrn related chatter in news.software.readers, but still 
trn has a feel which I basicly understand--and there is a person who handles 
Debian bugs for it.  Thanks in advance
