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. Ted Knight
