Hello Klyde
I'm afraid I don't have the solution to your PB, only I'm trying to setup Wine
myself and wouldlike to ask you if you can send me your wine.conf (rather than
asking 10 Qs) ? Please ?
But wait, about your PB ; if I read you well, you start a connexion under X,
then lauch wine, then connect to AOL.
Does it freezes right away or only when you try the mail client ?
If you skip the AOL part and launch, say NScape, what happens ?
