I got a PPP daemon set up in background. Now I can't use fetchmail to get new mail via POP3, (see other postings...) so I'd like to connect to the remote host via minicom. Now, if the daemon is running, I can't get minicom to of anything right! It just seems to "monitor" the connection made by ppp. Its like I start minicom while ppp isn't connected, and ppp justs start connecting! And minicom sits there and watches! I got to kill the ppp daemon in order to get minicom to work properly... Any clues? +-----------------------------------+ | Free the world from businessmen | | Free yourself from your money | +-----------------------------------+ Free the web.
