Apparently 10060 is a timeout (I had to search the Internet), whatever
0x800CCC0E menas.

So either the client has networking troubles, or the server has (albeit
unlikely, as SSH seems to work), or client and server go out of synch.

I've seen all sorts of errors with Windows and Microsoft software for
networking, however not this particular one (I'm not using OE).

"OE" isn't a software I'd recommend or I am able to debug.

What do you get with other newsreaders, perhaps on a different client (if
available)?
