I don't believe you can. POP3 post office is suppose to be listening on port
110 only. (POP2 is on 109 but who still uses that?) If you have a post office
that is listening elsewhere, ask it be changed to the standard port.

It is possible that you have a very slow nameserver. Before the NNTP
connection is established, Trumpet News Reader has to determine the IP number
for the news host. It maybe doing that lookup ... and if the nameserver is
loaded, you'll notice the delay.

PS I suspect the problem you are having with mosaic is due to the WinSock.DLL!

It's probably because PC-NFS 5.0 doesn't have/use DNS.  Version 5.1
(which I hear is due out this month) is supposed to support DNS.

    Nope. There are 3 major specs out today: NDIS, ODI, and CLARKSON
GENERIC PACKET DRIVER. NDIS was made by Microsoft, ODI by Novell, and
the packet driver by Clarkson University / FTP Software.

    DIS_PKT is a shim that can be loaded after an NDIS compliant
driver to make it look like a packet driver.

    ODIPKT is a shim that can be loaded after an ODI compliant
driver to make it look like a packet drvier.

    In other words, you couldn't load ODIPKT after and NDIS driver.

    If you're loading an NDIS driver, and need packet driver support,
you would use DIS_PKTX.DOS, where X is the version of the driver.

    As far as versions go, I'm not sure. As far as ODIPKT goes, the newer
the better. This is not necessarily the case with DIS_PKT, however. Many
applications that use a packet driver use the FTP 1.09 spec. Even though
the spec has increased in version #, 1.09 seems to be the most popular,
and stable. For instance, I have many applications that will work with
DIS_PKT9.DOS (1.0*9*), but DISPKT13.DOS (what was the latest at the time)
does not work....

    Hope some of that helped
