I have no problem starting pppd after pine, but the thing that pine hangs
in busy-mode has happened to me. This I haven't experienced in 3.96, but
both 4.00, and 4.02 on Solaris. It also happens sometimes in 4.05 with
MiNT. It happens to me when I eXpunge atleast one mail and have gotten new
mail. I believe this is a bug in pine?
