Your mail will remain on the remote machine... you'll telnet/ssh into it and read it using pine/mutt etc. |Interesting ! |I guess for that, I should have a shell a/c ? Yes there are a quite a few free ones available... there are some paid ones too. |Or my present vsnl a/c would suffice ? nope vsnl no longer offers shell access. |But Cyber-Dhaba's PC is already connected to |internet thru vsnl. So how can I use a free shell |a/c to download/upload my mail, using telnet ? telnet/ssh. |My ! And where can I find a phone line to connect to internet ? Ask anyone with a PCO ... you should be able to get all your mails down in <10 minutes anyways... so even if you pay a 2x premium to let them connect your laptop... you'll still save time and money as compared to a cyber cafe.

Why do you ask ??? As Nike says... "Just do it!" .. carry a few telephone cables in your laptop bag for the different possible plug points. |If you are in Munbai, TOI ads proclaims to sell used |laptops for 25-30K *ONLY* ! |My !

I don't think Bish works at hcl.. he merely uses a HCL ISP... if you are really working with HCL Infinet ...
