Interestingly there was a bug which caused improper encoding of the tagline in 
4.0pl2, resulting in some of the fussier recipient machines rejecting 
transmissions. If you can manage to get 4.1beta2 compiling on SCO, I recommend 
giving it a go. Alternatively, apply the tagline patch to your current install 
of 4.0pl2.
