We have run into some problems with MacTCP not closing connections when being 
run in the Mac partion of A/UX.  I don't know if this is related to the 
problems you have been having but it does point to some things that need to be 
worked on with MacTCP and A/UX.  I am sure that Apple is aware of these.

Sure get in touch with us and take a look at TCP/Connect II with mail SMTP/POP2 
and POP3.
