Yes - but is this the situation where the client (eg Netscape Communicator) times out
and
mail retrieval must be initiated again. This becomes annoying after a while -
Get/Cancel/Wait
for link to come up (external modem helps here) /Get
Sending mail is even worse - it locks completely for some time before it times out -
presumably this is an SMTP timeout issue.
The point is that the critical packet from the email client isn't getting through -
presumably disappearing during the connection process.
FYI, in my case, Linux 2.0.36, diald 0.16.5, pppd 2.3.4 and Netscape Communicator 4.5.
I
built the box at the far end too - its pretty much the same but with Cyrus as the mail
agent.
