Hi Pierre, Thanks for your response.
I have other PCs running Win ME, Win2K, Win98, etc. With the same settings I configure Eudora and I can receive and send emails without problem. Right from the beginning when I install Mandrake 8.1 I encountered numerous problems. PS/2 mouse still could not be operated on PS/2 working on serial port instead. Telnet client command was found missing later and I have to RPM it. For such reasons I hesitate whether there is a problem on Mandrake 8.1 ISO Images downloaded from website (md5sum matching). I have no complaint on the same PC because it works fine on Mandrake 7.2, and RH7.1 B.R.
