For three days I have been attempting to send a file containing
my kppprc to another list user.

And for every attempt at sending that file I was inexplicibly
hung-up-apon!!

I finally worked it out after examining the content of kppprc 
and studiying a Hayes Command-set

The standard escape command for my modem is 3 plus(+) symbols
in succession 

The command which tells the modem to hangup are the three
characters A + T + H  AS ONE THREE CHARACTER STRING (no spaces
and no + symbols) followed by a carriage return.

My kppprc contains both the escape set and the hangup string!!

After a bit of editing and inserting throw-away characters into
the lines concerned I was able to send the mail.

Took a number of failed attempts from a variety of different
mailers on a Mac, Windows and Linux, and a call to the gurus
at my ISP to finally nail it down..

Cheers
