I noticed that for a couple days recently (evenings really- it was okay early in the morning) Demon was *extremely* slow to establish routeing although it got there in the end. However, I had to wait a good 30 secs to a minute from time to time. If Emailer is timing out, it would give you a -3201 error. Doing a finger probably took long enough for routeing to be established after which you'd be okay anyway. *If* that was the problem, you should be okay now as it all seems to be working again from here. -- Peter
