Subject: Re: Slip server sw wanted

It is not a daft question, and is actually rather frequently
asked on this group. There is no such thing as a generic
Winsock "SLIP server" that can run as an independently loaded
application over any Winsock implementation.
What you need is a DOS or Windows TCP/IP stack implementation
that supports multiple interfaces concurrently, and also supports
routing between interfaces. In the specific instance of SLIP
routing, the multiple interfaces would be the ethernet interface,
and the serial (ASY) interface.
An *excellent* Winsock compliant TCP implementation that fulfils
this requirement is SuperTCP from Frontier Technologies. I have
used SuperTCP 3.0 and 4.0 and think very highly of the product.
A shareware/freeware option is to run some version of KA9Q on
the PC (under DOS), and use KA9Q as a dial-in SLIP server/router.
If you are to pursue this route, I highly recommend taking a look
at Karl Heinz Weiss's SLIPLOG package available via FTP and
Gopher from "mvmpc9.ciw.uni-karlsruhe.de". Karl's package will
work over any KA9Q compile that supports packet drivers. I have
tested it over my own compiles, and have found the performance
to be quite satisfactory. In addition the security/access-control
that his package provides is quite welcome as well.
KA9Q is free for educational and ham use, but others must pay
the primary author (Philip Karn Jr., KA9Q) a shareware fee. He
can be reached at <karn@chicago.qualcomm.com>.

I don't think it had anything to do with it. Try seeing if there
is a .yourusername.pop file in your hosts mail directory. POP servers
traditionally copy your mailbox to .yourusername.pop while they transfer
the mail and use that file as a lockfile. If the session gets
interrupted, the lockfile can remain. You can't get your mail
again until the file is cleared. You can append the .*.pop file
to your normal mail file and try again, getting perhaps duplicate
messages as the only downside.
Sometimes rather large mail files will abort a POP session--some
clients don't like mail messages over 60K, etc.
