Re: Problem with host connection

Hi, After listening to others it seems best to run 7.0 and so rather than
carry on I decided to remove all traces of 6.5 and install 7.0 once I have
downloaded it. (have not had chance yet, hope to tonight)

At the same time while removing 6.5 I did notice a running of postmaster at
the end of my inittab which did not have a -i in it so I think that was the
problem?
