Subject: PCPINE3.91 hanging - repost - fruzztrated

From: [email-masked] (MMLDHaywar)
Date: 3 Mar 1995 14:53:15 -0500

I'm using the ncsa packet driver for ne2000.  telnet works fine, so does
ftp.  The name server one the network seems to be functioning properly --
at least ftp uses it, and nslookup works.

So, config.tel seems to be ok, and configtel= is set properly.  PINE seems
to be using it.  When I removed configtel, PINE tries to BOOTP, which
fails.  Put it back, PINE comes up.

But, when I put the {host.domain} in the pinerc path to INBOX, PCPINE_P
can't open the inbox, (error 143, I think) .  If I then go into setup and
configure and change he path to {ip.address}, return and attempt to read
the inbox, pine makes
the connection, and things seem to be fine.

If I then exit PINE, and try to run it again, with the path set to
{ip.address}, it hangs at opening INBOX -- requiring a reset.   If I
manually edit the pinerc file back to {host.domain}, it will at least come
up, although, again, it can't find the INBOX until I go through setup,
etc., etc.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Here is my PINERC, and for good measure, my CONFIG.TEL.  I hope you can
see a problem.

Thanks for your time.

# Pine configuration file -- customize as needed.
#
# This file sets the configuration options used by Pine and PC-Pine.  If
you
# are using Pine on a Unix system, there may be a system-wide
configuration
# file which sets the defaults for these variables.  There are comments in
# this file to explain each variable, but if you have questions about
# specific settings see the section on configuration options in the Pine
# notes.  On Unix, run pine -conf to see how system defaults have been
set.
# For variables that accept multiple values, list elements are separated
# by commas.  A line beginning with a space or tab is considered to be a
# continuation of the previous line.  For a variable to be unset its value
# must be blank.  To set a variable to the empty string its value should
# be "".  You can override system defaults by setting a variable to the
# empty string.  Switch variables are set to either "yes" or "no", and
# default to "no".
# Lines beginning with "#" are comments, and ignored by Pine.
