Hello. I hope to get a cable modem through Charter cable in a month and I am intrested in getting documentation now for the fetch mail program. You mentioned some type of smart host program. Whair can I get this along with the documentation for it? I will have several outside pop mail servers and so this means I will have several user accounts set up on my linux system so can multiple versions of fetch mail be used for getting mail for each user account? I will be using the redhat 9 installation and I will be waiting a while before I install federa. tracy Son. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Holmes" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 6:06 AM Subject: Re: broadband connectivity advice > On Tue, Jan 06, 2004 at 08:26:39AM -0600, Cheryl Homiak wrote: > > tell you is wrong to linuxese.
