For even better visuals of the connections, try

'(gnus-summary-line-format "%[%U%R%2i%]  %B   |_%(%f%)%*   
")

Also, I was able to get the Agent working offline.  For some reason
setting the gnus-select-method to nntp doesn't work.  The only thing
that does it for me is setting gnus-nntp-server, gnus-agent, and calling
gnus with gnus-unplugged:

(setq gnus-nntp-server "news.eternal-september.org")
(setq gnus-agent t)
(gnus-unplugged)
