Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi. Well, I've just finished configuring everything for PPP (went very well) and I can now send mail from my machine here at home. I'm still not sure, though, how to *read* news sent to my PPP account (jbm@pic.net). They're spooling it up and holding it for me to retrieve via POP, apparently (the Windows software they sent out included Eudora)... I found popper (qpop) in amongst the 2.0 packages, but that seems to be a POP server... am I wrong in assuming that I need a POP *client*? If you have experience with retrieving mail via POP on a FreeBSD box, I'd love to hear how you're doing it. Please forward responses to madison@netcom.com, as I won't really be able to read any sent to my pic.net account until I get this worked out :) Thanks for the help! -- Ben Madison "If we were retarded it would be madison@netcom.com another story..." jbm@pic.net -- Little Jack Melody
