Look, I installed my printer, I could connect via cu or minicom, and suddenly all goes wrong. All these problems appear suddenly. It seems to me it's more a single bug than many things I forgot (even if I always forget sometin ;)). I think these problems appeared after I use my installation diskette by mistake to install some more distribution sets.

Yes, I use POP, but I think this will only retrieve the _new_ email... with no possibilities of saving incoming messages on the remote host... (account on IRIX 5) Ain't there a way to interact _directly_ with the mailing system of the remote host (except than via a terminal)? +-----------------------------------+ | Free the world from businessmen | | Free yourself from your money | +-----------------------------------+ Free the web.
