You will only be able to get it off their server using Pine if they're
running a IMAPd. 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.

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. Anyone
got any suggestions ?
