Hi Allen

I got the ip problem sorted out. It seems that I had an bad record in my 
DNS now that is straightened out I still have a small problem with sendmail

I turned it on with the default in netstart -bd -q30m and I get and error 
on startup that says -q30m: not found.  this happens right after 
"starting network"

also when "starting network daemons: routed printer sendmailroot... 
Recipient names must be specified" I then put my name in there and hit 
control c and the boot finishes fine. 

and also if you can tell me where I can get a compiled version of pine 
for macbsd it would be appreciated.

and I will check the man for ftpd...

thanks allen
