    Hi, 
    
    You've probably tried him (as I'm new to this I'll suggest it 
    anyway, apologies if so) but I found Roy Goring to be VERY helpful 
    (and, in my case, understanding!) in these matters.

As far as I can remember, the last release version of Oasis2 (I presume
that's what you mean), had a major bug in it that prevented access to
Demon's homepages server!!!!!!! And that was the effect!
You *cannot* use it to access Demon's homepages server, at all. It will
*not* work no matter what you try. Give up now.

There is no problem with accessing it through NEWSie. Why do you need to be
able to download SMTP mail now anyway? Demon have had a POP3 front end to
their mail server for 6 months or so now. NEWSie works fine with that.
Although you might find POPwatch useful too (which is on my webpage
below). I wrote that specifically with Demon's server in mind.

NEWSie should produce a log file called (xxxxxxxx). Post the bit relevant to
your ftp problem here (or mail it to me) and I'll take a look.
NEWSie *does* work with Demon's ftp server, so the problem must be a simple
one (such as password or something).

That shouldn't be a problem.
