Many thanks to Daniel Senie and Kenneth Porter for their help! Problem solved.
One issue remains - the transmission speed over a 100Mb/sec network is very sloooowwww. This is true for pop3 and ftp - only can get about 10kb/sec. Red Hat qpopper server is on a external network with firewall/DNS server inbetween RH7.2 and my Winnt workstation. pop3 and ftp logins are very fast (after removing USERID from xinetd.d/wu-ftpd) but upload/download speed is poor on both. Any ideas?
