Somebody had a similar problem (see comp.sys.psion.comm), because the
message of the day contained "fail".  I notice that the current motd has
"COLT fault message when busy".  Note the "busy".  It looks like the
PsiMail dial script is very sensitive to stop words.

I don't know if you can get PsiMail to only look for the upper-case
version of the words, since that is normally how a modem presents them.
There was a problem once when Demon put "NO CARRIER" in the motd!

I think if you are willing to put up with the default settings (eg idle
timeout), then you can switch into PPP after the CONNECT, and use PAP
authentication.
