I believe I have found a bug in Eudora 1.3b46.  I changed the "Navigate
In", "Navigate Out", and "telnet" (7400.13) strings and was able to
successfully log in to my mail server.  Unfortunately, next time I tried it
I got the message:

"Sorry - the serial port selected is in use and is not available."

There is also a Comm Toolbox Icon with a little satellite dish in the
message box.  This only happens after I gotten mail once with Eudora. 
Eudora will always get the mail the first time I try regardless of any
serial port software I may previously have run.

It sounds to me like Eudora is not freeing the port after it is finished. 
If my diagnosis is wrong, some one please correct me.  If it is right, I
would appreciate knowing that Steve got the message.

Thanks,
Clarke

You're probably using either the Apple Modem Tool version 1.0 or the
Powerbook Modem Tool.  Eudora does indeed close the connection, but
these tools seem not to notice.  The Apple Modem Tool version 1.1 and
the Hayes Modem Tool are both fine for use with Eudora 1.3b46.

Yes, I'm still working on Eudora and it's still free.
