[comp.mail.mh] pop flakey w/mac II

i'm having difficulty getting the pop service to work using a mac II. it works
great using a mac se connected to the appletalk going through a gatorbox, but
a mac II connected to the appletalk or a mac II directly connected to the
ethernet does not get mail from the unix server. i know the unix server is
working properly (or rather the pop daemon is working properly) because i can
retrieve, send, or reply mail from a mac se. has anyone ever run into this
problem?? is there anyone out there who is using a mac II (connected to
ethernet or appletalk)???? did you do anything special to get it going. i have
mh 6.6 running on the unix machine. by the way, telnet works using the mac II,
mail seems to be my only problem, the mac II hangs after i give it my password,
and it seems to be after it connects to the unix machine, while it's trying to
download the mail to the mac. any suggestions
