It makes sense that if a PC is on the Internet and is running a mail receiver package 24 hours a day, it could then receive mail sent to it. If you're running Unix on the box, that is a given, as Unix includes the mailer as part of the OS. Well, since we now have Windows, we could set up the mailer to run as a task under it. Now, _sending_ mail might be a dif- ferent kettle of fish altogether... Try looking for a copy of the ka9q NET or NOS package at your favorite archive. It will handle SMTP, FTP and TELNET and can run under windows. It can both send and recieve mail. Freemacs has a RMAIL mode that can be used as well but I don't believe that freemacs will run under windows. jv "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither."
