[Sussex] Dial-up twice

[Gavin Stevens]

Hi all,

Recently, when dialling-up to my Freeserve account, I have to dial-up 
twice before I can get my e-mails. I was using Mozilla when this first 
started. To see if it was Mozilla, I set up Sylpheed to get my Freeserve 
e-mail & the same things happens:

Dial-up first time (doesn't matter whether e-mail client is opened before 
or after dial-up), attempt to receive mail will bring up "errors occurred 
while getting mail". X-term has messages saying couldn't locate 
pop.freeserve.net, etc etc.

CTRL-C; dial-up again, get e-mails no problem. Can't work this one out - I 
suspect that something may have changed with the changeover from Freeserve 
to Wannabesomethingnoonesheardof. I noticed this evening that I no longer 
get the user login message after doing wvdial.

I'm just baffled as to why it won't work first time but always works 
second time.

Incidentally, dialling-up to my uklinux account (which I'm using as I 
write this) always works first time.

Any thoughts welcome,

Gavin.
