Re: efs fails to connect to any hosts

Hi Skip, please use Help->Send Bug Report... or M-x report-emacs-bug as suggested in http://www.xemacs.org/Debug/index.html This will tell us enough about your XEmacs installation so that we should be able to help you. See http://www.xemacs.org/Download/win32/ for a recommendation on Windows not to use cygwin FTP. Perhaps you experience a similar problem under MacOS?
