I have set up a FreeBSD 2.2.8 box.

Configured two nic cards.  One with the IP address from ISP and the other
for my internal network.

I also set up Squid to use for a proxy server.  Able to connect to the
internet on all internal machines through FreeBSD box with Squid.

Trying to figure out how to download and send my e-mail from and to my ISP.
I would like to be able to use my win98 internal machine to read and send
e-mail.  Been using Outlook 2000.

I only been using FreeBSD for about a Month.  Have read the complete FreeBSD
book. But it doesn't talk much about downloading and sending e-mail with a
DSL connection.

Do I use sendmail, popper, pop3, smtp and how do I configure FreeBSD to let
me go through the FreeBSD box to read my mail from my win98 computer.

I been trying hard to figure this out, but I don't have enough experience
yet on unix.

Also was wondering about newsgroups.

Thanks for your help on advance.
