I have a local copy of pine configured to access my e-mail account at the university, via PPP. (not ppp anymore.) I have done ftp and netscape through this PPP connection both before and after this problem occurs with Pine. Also, the problem seems sporadic, and usually occurs only after I've spent over a minute reading a message or composing a reply. the problem: When I compose a message and go to send it, Pine will occassionally enter its "sending message" mode, and never recover. I've waited up to ten minutes, but eventually my only recourse was to kill -INT the process. Normally, Pine will display "sending message" for only a couple seconds, and then display "writing FCC", followed by "message sent". At first I thought the PPP connection was lost, but both while Pine was locked up and after killing it, I can still use netscape, ftp, and telnet through the connection and the prompt is still in capitol P's. Anyone have an idea? for now, I'm telneting a server at the Univ. and using thier pine. The PPP connection stays solid for that. Ken
