Hello,

I have recently installed FreeBSD SNAP-041295 and would like to set it up to 
receive mail through PPP connection.  Do I need a pop3 client like I do in 
windows or not :-)?  And can I use xbiff for PPP mail notification?  If there is 
a pop3 client where can I obtain it?

Also, how can I change the name of my machine.  I still have the default name 
"myname.mymachine.mydomain" (or something close to this)  How would I set this 
name up so that I will be able to receive PPP mail both thru dynamic and static 
IP's.  

And, can I use freeBSD to establish 2 PPP connectiosn thru 2 modems 
simultaneously?  I managed to have both modems (thru kermit) work when using 2 
shell accounts.   However, when I try to establish connection thru PPP, the 
second (last) connection drops right after I issue pppd /dev/cuaax 38400 (or 
whatever).  I get an error saying the "device not configured"  Is this a 
limitation of FreeBSD or is it just my setup? 

Thanks in advance.
