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. -- Cihat Ozhasoglu Department of Physics 301 Fronczak Hall University at Buffalo Buffalo, NY 14260-1500 e-mail: ozhas-c@acsu.buffalo.edu
