What you want is something like `popper' (in fact, maybe exactly that) on the Solaris box which allows a mail client like MH or ELM running on the FreeBSD box to suck mail off it. I'm not up on all the vagaries of compiling popper for Solaris, but that's the basic idea you want to chase. Most of the FreeBSD ported mailers already support POP transfers, now you just need to make your Solaris box play ball. Jordan
