	Check that you have valid entries for pop2 and pop3 in the files
/etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf
pop2            109/tcp         postoffice      # POP version 2
pop2            109/udp
pop3            110/tcp         # POP version 3
pop3            110/udp                                                

pop3    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/etc/popper   popper
pop2    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/etc/popper   popper
 
	I am using popper 1.7x from freebsd.cdrom.com.  I tried
compiling the latest version 1.8x? from berkeley.  It compiled fine but
I couldn't get it to work right.  Version 1.7x works fine though.
