OK, I´m really no expert to this, but I have some ideas:
1) You have to add "is [localuser]" at the end of the line so that fetchmail
knows for which user on the box the mail is.
2) perhaps you must write "pop3" in big letters (POP3), but I don´t think so.
The line would look like this now:
poll mail.uk2.net protocol POP3 user "txxx" password "x" is "Glen"
3) Where did you put ".fetchmailrc", and do you try to fetchmail as user or
root? If you put it in the root-directory, only root (or scripts with root
privilegs) can use it, and if a user tries to fetch mail, he´ll get this "no
mailservers" error message. You could test if it makes a difference if you
copy the file into the users home directory. I would suggest, however, that
you keep the file in "/root" and add the line for fetchmail in your dialout-
script (once you got it to work).
Cheers,
