That's saying the the interface sl0 isn't configured, which is not very surprising. As you show below, the sl* interfaces are used with SLIRP And chances are you are using a "standard" dial-up. > I'm using the example ~/.fetchmailrc file.

As near as I can tell the interface definition is not mandatory - I don't have one but I get my mail just fine. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?"
