Don't recall ever having to setup anything special other then having comsat open in inetd.conf and setting the biff to y in my profile. When ever I would get mail it would automaticaly spew the top info and maybe a line or two of the mail on the screen and just scroll them as new mail came in. Fast forward to 4.0-STABLE.. I've set biff to y and have comsat in inetd.conf but i don't get anything on screen when new mail arrives. Have I forgotten something? Keith ================================= Keith W.
