I have recently encountered a rather unusual and interesting problem.
If I launch Claris Emailer 2.0, make a connection to Demon and
immediately try to check my e-mail I get the following error message
from Emailer.

"** Couldn't complete the last command because an unknown error (-3201)
occurred."

This message is repeated regardless of the mail server I try and connect
to (three in all).  The immediate cure is to do a Finger on, say
gate@demon.co.uk.  This works OK and thereafter Emailer performs
faultlessly.

A similar error is also encountered with Netscape Communicator if I try
and connect to a site straight away. The error is something like

"No response from server or something like that."

This problem is quite recent but no one else seems to have reported
anything similar so any help will be appreciated.  It is almost as
though the system needs a kick to make it respond

Configuration is Centris 660AV, 44M RAM, Pace 56k Modem.

The problem arises on all Demon 0845 numbers.

Any suggestions gratefully received.
