I also have had an experience involving a delayed delivery, but this was a purely positive experience. The story is: I ordered SuSE 5.2 from a Danish distributor. He gave me the reply, that I would have to wait a couple of weeks since he was waiting for 5.3. So I ordered 5.2 and got 5.3. This is what I call excellent service!

[SuSE Linux] .fetchmailrc, You were right guys, I'm a dummy
by zentara＠netfrog.net 17 Dec '98

17 Dec '98

Well, After all my attempts, and failures, I decided to take your advice and set my name from zentara(a)netfrog.net to plain zentara, and it worked!!!!!!!!!!!! My isp specifically said that I needed to use the full email address to login, and netscape works with the full email address. Also, even though I was under the impression that I was getting an APOP challenge, as the fetchmail faq suggested, I wasn't. It's plain old pop3. I'm confused, but it's working, and I'm sure I'll understand it eventually. Thanks to all. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

I have had something similar happen to me. But I did not find it a "BAD" experience at all. It involved the release of the Applixware Office suite and a full copy of 5.3 I ordered. SuSE was very helpful on the phone and gave me realistic dates to expect it and a sincere apology for the delay. They even split the shipment for me and sent out the 5.3 cd's. I think everyone must know that they pushed back the (re)release so as not to put out a bad product. I myself applaud SuSE for this and think they did the right thing. Even though I had to wait a bit longer. In my opinion they have a quality product and quality individuals.

Hi, I've configured Linux to use IP forwarding & Masquerading but I can't understand why I cannot use FTP & HTTP from my win95 client machine. The client is on 192.168.2.5 and I can ping ouside with it, I even manage to connect via FTP, I got connected, I sent username and password and got access to the FTP server but then I cannot use simple commands like dir or ls etc. If I try to use the browser I get time out responce all the time.
