Same here :(

I too have had to revert back to the ThorTCPbeta4 for TCP. I did not have the
problem with the ConnectThor commodities interface. Maybe that's because I am
running WB3?

I have a 50Mhz 030 A1200. On my machine the Thor2.1_inet tools are completely
broken. ConnectThor will not talk to the newsserver - either "connection
refused" or "unable to allocate slaves out of memory", something like that :)

The new ParseUUCP command completely screws up the parsing of incoming mail.
It fails to extract the from: to: and subject: fields. I have reverted back to
the old PareseUUCP command.

When I first installed the new Thor2.1 I had an email event waiting and
ConnectThor appeared to have sent it OK, so maybe something is working :)

Appart from those minor :) problems I am impressed with the new features in
2.1. "Well done" to the Thor team. I hope you provide a bugfix soon.

Shaun.
