- Someone here is having troules with biff on a Sun 3 (I think) running 4.1.2.
- I can't get biff to *not* work on any of my machines but recall having trouble
- with it in the past. It seems that it must be something on this particular
- machine. The fellow to which I refer is connected with a serial line going
- to a Mac, although I don't see how that could make much of a difference.
- He sets 'biff y' in his .login and sure enough the offering '% biff' is greeted
- with the familiar 'biff is y'. However, he is not being notified about the
- arrival of new mail.
-
- Any advice appreciated.

- Jim
