It's not about linux, but...

I just connected using 432-7200 number & couldn't download email,
couldn't find POP3 server (pilot.msu.edu).  I've had this problem
occur before and solved it by disconnecting & redialing to the
353-3500 number.

Tried that this time and was asked repeatedly to enter my correct
password - didn't seem to get it right on at least six tries.

OK - reboot! (Win95 - sorry) - and repeat previous two paragraphs
with same result.

Try the new number - 999-2678.   Bingo - all is well  :>)

Then I download my email.  I get one message from a GLLUG member
and another From: MAILER-DAEMON@pilot.msu.edu
              To: undisclosed-recipients:;

This second email contains an attached file named CBLNFNCB.EXE 

What the hell is this exe file?  Is it connected in any way to
the problems I described above?  Is it going to reformat my hard
drive(s)?  Haven't done anything stupid *yet*.

Thanks for any info,
Charlie Mulks
