That's really troubling, as I hope that one day we can lick this
connection problem, and the one thing I hoped to hold out to the Emacs
maintainers was: it works fine on XEmacs....

I checked in proxy code a long while ago (18 months?) and, oddly, if I
connect through a proxy, the connection is made nearly instantly.  I
don't know why in the world this would be so, but it is.  Try using it
(if you have a HTTP proxy server handy), and see if it works.

If you have an apache server and a linux box, I can tell you how to
have a proxy server running in just a few minutes.  It's pretty easy.
