After restoring some subdirectories from the backups I found out, that 
something was missing or different.
In the subdirectory MPTN\ETC the following things were missing
        \RNSPOOL
        resolv
        resolv2
        sendmail.002
and the following was different
        
        extmap
        mailcap
        ppp0.log
        ppp0.pid
        sendmail.cf
        sendmail.uml
        services
        slattach.log
        (tcpos2.ini) -> I used that from the backup but it didn't work anyway
        
Servus, Andreas!
