Quoting the fix from Nick Clay..

______________________

What I did was to open up !Acornet.Utils.!Slipdial.Scripts.acornet and then
edit the Acornet script file inside it, by removing the line:

if (?eq %mail_protocol SMTP) task /name=SMTP "Run FreeNet:StartSMTP"

which can be found a short way into the file towards the end of a section
which starts:

# Transition: Dial up with FreeNet selected

(I saved the removed line in a safe place elsewhere so I could reinstate it
later if I wanted to!)

This had the effect of a smooth login with no error messages & no auto load
of FreeSMTP, but left me the option of loading FreeSMTP manually from
Frontend panel when I wanted it.

Take care now.. with Demon you have a true Internet connection
(at least while you are online). You have to have a "postmaster"
ready to accept mail from Demon shortly after logon. Maybe there
is a tidier way to do it, but I took the line of least resistance
and settled for clicking on 'Mail Xfer' as soon as I connect.

Hope this helps..
