Hello, I have a strange problem with linux networking while communicating with the pop server pop3.site1.csi.com. The problem appears to be related to linux, because I cannot reproduce the problem under Windows 95 or Sun OS.
I first noticed the problem when trying to use fetchmail to get my CSI pop mail. I am using Red Hat linux 4.2. With fetchmail I noticed that the username and password authenticates, the stat and list work commands work, but on retr command, csi end apparently goes dead.
I then tried the same thing just with an ordinary telnet to port 110 and the same thing happens. However, If I telnet manually under Windows 95, or sunOS it all worksperfectly, and I can retrive messages.
I have tried using the poprpa package too, it authenticates perfectly, with RPA but also gets stuck after sending a RETR 1 command. I have tried with kernel 2.0.30, 2.1.79 and 2.1.82 and none work. I have tried on two different machines with two different modems.
I imagine I could have some compile option not set properly, or maybe something missing in /etc/conf.modules, alternatively there could be a bug in the ppp or networking part of linux.
Can anyone reproduce this problem? Or is it just me? Does anyone have any suggestions how I can solve it.
Thanks in advance, Nicholas Waltham
