I had serious problems with UKA_PPP and Yarn. Several times I lost
all messages before reading them.
I regularly use MINUET for DOS in a 286 with an hercules monitor.
Find it at www.fdisk.com
I think it is the easiest and best DOS program for simple email, FTP
and NNTP.
I modified Pegasus Mail PMAIL.EXE 3.50 so I can read usenet news
directly in Pegasus message board without running any other program
but Netdial and EPPPD.
