I've occasionally had trouble with getting encrypted sessions to work.
Also, I get the same sendauth and recvauth fialed messages as I do with
some of the other programs...
Thanks for the feedback.

I'd love to have them, you can either mail them to me if they are
small, or I can provide you ana anon-ftp ocation.
Have you succeeded in getting any commercial pop clients working with
