Subject: PCPINE hanging on opening INBOX -- help

I'm using the ncsa packet driver for ne2000.  telnet works fine, so does
ftp, although it complains about an invalid packet driver vector.

So, config.tel seems to be ok, and configtel= is set properly.

But, when I put the {host.domain} in the pinerc path to INBOX, PCOINE_P
can't open the inbox.  If I then go into setup and configure and change
the 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.

Thanks.
