Are you, by any chance, using a SLIP connection? If so, what terminal server are you connecting to? I'm going to try changing to PPP (user-mode .. don't want to recompile kernel yet). : OTOH, does anyone have any luck with elm on 2.1R ? I ftp the port and make : a binary for myself, but upon starting up elm, I keep getting : : Waiting to read mailbox while mail is being received: attempt #0-#6 : Giving up after 7 iterations. : Please try to read your mail again in a few minutes. : Timed out on locking mailbox. Leaving program. I *think* this has to do with the /var/spool directory.. make sure you have read/write rights.... I had this error a while back and.. well.. i've slept since then. :-) grutz;
