I'm using 2.0.31 now. And people who try to pop to this system often get
rst.. as first reply on a connect request to that port ..just like the
port is not available. So I guess I'm having the same
problem. I do use nettools1.33.
Now I wonder if this could have something to do with the fact I'm using
the ax25utils... Or maybe this is a inetd problem ?
I don't know.

I'm really looking forward to the replys on this topic.

Also something else: When someone tries to send me mail from a jnos system
the mail gets here without problems.. but there is an error in the smtp
proto like this:
>>> DATA
<<< 503 Need Mail befor RCPT

It's not too bad but the jnos mail deamon keeps sending errors.. while the
linux sendmail receives the mail ok and doesn't seem to have a problem.

Any suggestions to solve this from the linux side ?
