root at study:/home/neil# echo +OK | netcat -l -v -v -p 110
listening on [any] 110 ...
connect to [127.0.0.1] from localhost [127.0.0.1] 41877
AUTH


meanwhile TB reports that it is connected to 127.0.0.1 - then a long pause
until TB times out. So, no further I think, but I'm open to more
suggestions. Does 'AUTH' tell us anything?


TIA
