I don't remember what it stands for at the moment (its very late and my brain hurts) but it is a flavor of mail server. I believe POP gunk can be gotten via anon ftp too.

Eudora expects to dial into a Cisco terminal server. Once the connection is made, it issues one of the following commands to the server: telnet hostname 105 /stream (to fetch mail via the POP server) telnet hostname 25 /stream (to send mail via the SMTP server) The hostname must be properly configured in Eudora's configuration dialog. The host must be running both POP3 and SMTP servers. We use dialup Eudora in this way here at NU, and it works well.

Eudora is happiest with a Cisco; you're in good shape. If you aren't getting any action, use ResEdit to add STR# resource id 2400 to Eudora; put in it a couple strings consisting of a few returns each. More generally, Eudora has a very primitive scripting system that will let you send arbitrary strings during the connect and disconnect process. If you want the full scoop, anon. ftp to ux1.cso.uiuc.edu, and retrieve mac/eudora/custom_serial and mac/eudora/beta/beta_serial. The documents cover exactly what Eudora requires of dialins. I have people using Eudora with direct dialins, Ciscos, Annexes, Gandalfs, and Sytek. As I said, Eudora is easiest to make work with a Cisco, because that's what we have at UIUC. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner

However, it's easy to change lots of things, port numbers included, in Eudora; all it takes is ResEdit... -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner
