There are very few services on this machine. Here is a mail item to "mutt"
still in my mailq:
27 Mar 2001 17:08:34 GMT #202410 804 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
remote [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Each time it tries to go out, the "ns.gbnet.net" server tries to connect to
the "ident" port on my machine.
I did open "ident" port temporarily for the mail to get flushed out. It still
does not go out.
