Hello All, Please respond to both patrick@xinside.com and pgiag@earthlink.net if possible, in addition to the list if you wish... I am simply having the darndest time figuring out what is going on between my ISP and my Dell XPi Notebook running 2.2-961014-SNAP. I am using the iijppp (tun0 driver) package to connect to my ISP. Everything connects fine, I can surf the WWW no problem. In trying to get my email though I see the following behavior: -- I connect via POP3 using either Netscape 3.01 Gold or using the fetchmail client (latest version). -- connection is made, password accepted. Either client gets the information about how many messages there are, and the size of the first message. -- then, nothing; absolutely nothing. I can leave it alone as long as I want, but no POP mail is downloaded. No modem lights blink, no data seems to be transmitted. -- I have an ancient Mac (that I of course will not be taking on the road with me as travel back East this Christmas). It is able to download just fine. Ideas? Merry Christmas! --Patrick
