That's easy. You are giving pop-3 as port for tcpserver (check your run file
/ startup script), but there is no pop-3 entry in /etc/services. Either put
pop3 instead of pop-3 in your script (and check if it exists in
/etc/services) or hardwire port 110 instead of using a name. man tcpserver
is your friend ;-))
