Gotta vote for awstats too... kc

Well, I don't know if I am happy in the broadest sense of the word, but for this specific instance, I am quite happy. kc

Ok, this problem is now gone, for whatever reason. For all you guys that need ssh, you need to submit a ticket for it to be enabled. kc

SOLVED! It turns out to be the fault of a little program that I run called Cystalfontz CrystalControl (it runs the LCD readout on my case). I had it configured to check the server to see if I had any new mail at regular intervals, and to display the number of new messages. Anyway, there must be a problem when this program and one of the clients is running at the same time. Thanks for the suggestions. kc

Unfortunately, every client I have tried so far (now 4) does not work. They all get to a certain point when downloading the first message, and halt. The four I tried were Outlook Express 6, Outlook 2000, Pegasus and Eudora. One would think that one of those clients should work. I don't understand it, I can get e-mail all day, as long as there are no attachments. And yes, webmail works fine. BTW, the attachments are zipped. kc

Well, it looks like whatever e-mail server program that is being used does not talk to any of the e-mail clients i've tried (three so far). This is not meant as an indictment of you guys, since I understand that many hosts use the same server package. But I think it points to a generic problem within that server. Right now I am reduced to using wbemail for everything, which is not a good solution for me. I archive much of my e-mail, and it is clumsy to do within that interface. kc

You guys are going to be dissapointed with this. Here is what I've tried so far: 1. Eudora thru router, result is <100k of approx 400k message received. No error message. 2. Dial-up direct, same result with OE and pegasus 3. Dial-up thru AOL (i.e. different ISP), same result both programs Since deleting the previous problem e-mail, I got another one that I am having trouble with. If you want, access my account, and try to download the messgaes there. kc

Yes, I am on a dialup connection, through an analog router. Version of OE is 6.0, but not up to date with the latest and greatest. Using Eudora (free), the result was that I got about 86k of an approx 400k attachment, no error message presented, and the message was not removed from the server. I finally went into Neomail and deleted the offending message (this is the way the problem was solved previously too). As far as my ISP is concerned, the problem could very well be with them. They are totally clueless, and I feel that is not worth the time and aggravation for me to contact them. Of course, the problem could be my router as well, but I do not think it is that. If others are not experiencing the same problem, then I strongly suspect it is them. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi all, I recently requested that SSH be enabled. When started, I ge ta terminal window that says "Initializing random generator, please wait...", I've waited about 20 minutes now, but still no prompt. Is there a secret to getting this working? Thanks... kc

Hi all, I'm having a problem with my mail account here. I suspect it is not something unique to total choice, since I had the same problem at my previous host. Simply put - some e-mail attachments cause my mail client to hang, whilst in the process of downloading a message. The client I am using is outlook express. My previous hosting company told me to "use another client", since that was the problem. I do not think this should be the answer, but I am willing to entertain the idea. So, which client should I be using? Anyone got something that works for them? Thanks! kc
