Hello Wayne -

WC> Still haven't figured out what Verizon mail wants for
WC> authentication in SMTP despite many attempts. I've got to
WC> figure out what file defines what is in the mail.conf file
WC> and what Verizon's SMTP wants for authemtication. 

Lately many ISPs require that you use your POP3 access before
using SMTP in an attempt to discourage spamming.

WC> Soon as X-Windows flies I'm nuking the old Slackware
WC> release and upgrading to 8.1 I'm going to have to link up
WC> some files as you suggested as my POP3 mail still insists I
WC> insert a disk with relavent info from the earlier ramdrive
WC> version first unless I merely open and close that file on
WC> the hard drive, than all proceeds smoothly with no need for
WC> that disk. 

If this is what I had to deal with it was that a part of the
'pppsetup' script was required to do ppp logins and it included
the request to read the floppy. I rewrote this and haven't been
bothered about floppies since then. :-) 

WC> Read my old Slackware book and found it wanting in many
WC> areas but one place it excells and that's the explaination
WC> of the VI editor which though less comprehensive gets me
WC> going again far quicker than the book I have on that editor. 

I've always found VI to be not logical. There is no 'scent'
that I can detect to follow the logic of what keys do what and
when. How anyone gets 'used' to VI is beyond me.
