Sheldon-- This isn't exactly what you asked for, but if you would like to be able to run exmh via your 28.8 Kbps line, think about dxpc, an X protocol compression program. I was able to run exmh quite nicely over PPP over a dialup. URL: http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~zvonler/dxpc/ (Dunno if there's a package/port for this, but the source builds pretty much out of the box for FreeBSD, if I remember right.) If all I have is TTY-based access, I usually go to mh-e within emacs or just use the MH programs themselves from the shell (inc, show, scan, repl are about all you need). Hope this helps, Bruce. --==_Exmh_-1223379846P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNFoP4qjOOi0j7CY9AQFlzAP+KsL9mt8lt7pm1tlozjkHEOtssPh1Qku5 fr36c8QEG5LRfWfFZmSRZLjdtu/TZbeAwFIDBgdW6XFCOWw+aYV2mb9AW35zYSXN RTE5bLdkR29cha5fn+w2i0tHcbKmlr3jB5H0sCb14G3X5ST296vE3nAPY7aFeCS8 +prgxzaIzDU= =71OC -----END PGP MESSAGE----- --==_Exmh_-1223379846P--
