#9 incompatable set-language-environment

[Greg Priest-Dorman]

When trying tnt v. 2.4 with GNU emacs 20.2.1 on an
ultra sparc running Solaris 8 I found that I was unable
to establish a connection. Every 30 seconds I would
get "Attempting to sign on..." followed by an error
message (included bellow) until eventually I would get
a message from aol telling me to wait 10min. before
retrying. Without my .emacs ( emacs -q ) all worked
fine. It turns out that the offending line was:

(set-language-environment 'Latin-1)

Without this line in my .emacs tnt-2.4 works fine.
With it, I cannot connect. An emacs session where
the .emacs contins only the set-langauge line above
and the required tnt lines will not connect.

Here is snippit of the Message buffer from an emacs
session with set-laguage-environment as Latin-1:

Attempting to sign on...
Loading timer (compiled)...
Loading timer (compiled)...done
23:18:29 TNT connection closed, trying to reconnect...
Attempting to sign on...
23:18:59 TNT connection closed, trying to reconnect...
Attempting to sign on...

Hope this helps,

Greg

It does work for me.
