I just had an email from Eileen asking me if I had any idea why her 
Turnpike had stopped sending and receiving email, and sending me log 
windows. (As screenshots in a Word document, rather than text or even 
image files, but I could read them.)

One thing I noticed from them was that her Turnpike is still connecting 
to news.demon.co.uk to collect news (though not getting any). In my 
reply I was telling her I thought it had been dead for many years, but - 
I don't know why - I pinged it, and it responded!

OK, it's an alias, but still!

I couldn't tell what the problem is: she connects (to namesco) via 
stunnel, and that didn't seem to be succeeding from the log windows - 
which also showed Time server not responding (which wasn't showing in 
the earlier log-shot she included from when it _was_ working, so I don't 
think she had _that_ set incorrectly), so I guessed just total lack of 
internet; couldn't tell, as her tray icons only showed two neither of 
which was the connection one. I don't _think_ it's that, though, as she 
sent me the email with the screenshots, presumably from that computer, 
presumably using the namesco web ("Outlook") interface. Is there a 
simple way to test stunnel is working/has a connection?
