    Hello All,

    With the risk of being jumped on again I'm going to ask another question
    about Linpac.

    I managed to install Linpac a few minutes after I asked my previous question
    last week. It is amazing how the thought process produces an answer when a
    problem is discussed. Even more so when the person spoken to has no
    knowledge or interest in the subject.

    I have found that Linpac misbehaves badly (crashes often) as I was warned
    that it would when used with kernel version 2.4. Interestingly, I have never
    suffered a crash when using Linkt or the bare ax25 utilities.

    Anyway, when attempting to run Linpac's mail function I am presented with
    this message:

    "This channel is not free. Mail needs free channel for connecting BBS. Run
    mail on some not connected channel" [sic]

    This message is generated by the BBS (FBB) and makes no sense to the
    sysop either.

    If I run mail when I'm not connected then a mail window is displayed with a
    menu underneath. However, none of the menu options function; help included.

    Maybe I have misunderstood the purpose of the mail macro.

Phil
