This message didn't draw a reply so I thought I'd repeat it to see if it
spurred any interest.

Try telnet'ing to the server's port 143 and issue this command:

1 CAPABILITY

Please post to this list what the server replies with. Then, try the
following:

2 LOGIN <username> <password>

And see the reply. Then, are you running Binc with xinetd or
tcpserver, or similar? Have you modified these files in any way?

Andy - will be adding this to the FAQ soon :-)
