I want to fetch my mail from my ISP, but it does not allow any POP or IMAP connection. I can enter in telnet or ftp. And I would know how to fetch the mail using a combination of movemail and fetch on the remote, but I just can't pass commands on the other side... I tried echo "command" | telnet my_isp , and it didnt work. Maybe this is a little off-topic, but I don't see any other competent help than here... Thanks in advance! +-----------------------------------+ | Free the world from businessmen | | Free yourself from your money | +-----------------------------------+ Free the web.
