Someone mentioned a similar problem recently and I used to experience
it, it seems that some programs, including Emailer don't quite force
TCP/IP into action.  Try going to the TCP/IP Control Panel and select
Options (you need to set the User level to above Basic for this), set it
to active and don't tick the Load only when needed box.  See if it
helps.

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.

Thanks, but I am already configured as suggested.

Thanks, but I don't think that can be the reason as I keep getting the
error until I do a Finger.  Also, it doesn't appear to be a timeout
error as the error occurs almost immediately upon trying to connect with
Emailer.  In fact it just whistles through all four accounts that are
currently set up with the same error message.

That's odd, I recently re-insalled OT & OT/PPP so I thought maybe this
setting had been reset when I did so as the problem has now gone away.
Do you have OT 1.1.2?

Paul

Yes I do.  However, this morning the problem has gone away for no
apparent reason.  Such is technology.

Can you tell me where to get this?  I have just installed 7.6 + 7.6.1 on a
powerbook 520c and have not been able to find it via web or ftp sites yet. 
I am also looking for current versions of TCP/IP and PPP.  The faqs that I
have found seem to be somewhat old.

Despite having problems with the new set-up I have my old system file on a
Jaz drive and using that as the start-up disk seems to work fine.  Is it
safe to do this? 

Thanks for any help.
