You can however still PoP the mail off your ISP - he should have a pop server running. Use popclient (in the ports), in /usr/ports/mail/popclient I find that it works quite well. If you're sorting your mail using procmail, the newer popclient has support for a delivery agent as well. > My advice to PPP newbies is: Go for the user PPP! That's what I'm quite happily using right now. I understand though that kernel PPP is faster for operations that require raw throughput, like large ftp's, etc, etc. I'm eager to get it working, but the docs aren't all that great.
