Matt,

You've missed my whole querry.

I want to use Freebsd to pick up my mail from the pop3 server at netcom.

I was only stating that when using windows 3.1 I use eudora to pick up my mail.

I do not have a registered domain for my FreeBSD machine.  However, I do
have very in-expensive internet account with netcom which hold mail in a
pop3 server.

I am using pine to send mail and it is configured to give my correct email
address of e.knight@ix.netcom.com.  What I do not have is the ability to
pick up mail being held in my pop3 account at popd.ix.netcom.com

I have one machine which runs either Freebsd or dos/Windows.
