Yes, and it works in DOS Arachne.  As I have previously mentioned, you
can even sign up for the service by using DOS Arachne.

I found out also that I can *not* do it with Links.

POP and SMTP work fine for me with myrealbox when using InSight in
DOS Arachne.  When using Nettamer or NetMail Pro, another Nettamer
product, I can't even make contact with "mail.myrealbox.com".  My
problem is not just a log-in problem.  The problem is that Nettamer
can't even locate and contact the server.
