Hey! Did you hear what Loki was saying on Mar 28 ?

L> 1. I have installed Netscape Communicator 4.07 for Linux...
L> Are there any great changes made since its release, do
L> I need to download a newer version?

        Well the current version of Netscape Communicator is 4.51 which
seems to me to be a pretty stable piece of software.  I had an earlier
version that gave me a few problems but I can't remember what that version
was though.  As for "great changes", it's been so long since I've ran
Communicator that was as old as 4.07 I've lost track of what's new in the
latest version.  If it was me I'd get the latest... but then again, I'm
the type of guy who just _has_ to have the latest and greatest :P
 
L> 2. As you probably see, I'm sending this message from my mailer
L> for Win98. That's because I've subscribed this list to the
L> geocities account. And now I need to set up some Linux
L> mailer for using it. I can't do it in Netscape, because
L> it doesn't support multiple accounts.
L> Maybe someone can advice me some Linux mailer, which
L> can work with POP3?

        I use fetchmail (current version 4.7.9) and I'm pretty sure you
can set it up to poll different mail accounts.  You can even set it to run
as a daemon and poll for mail every x minutes.  I run my fetchmail this
way from my dial-up script so every time I log into the 'net I get my mail
automatically without me having to worry about it.  I use Pine to
read/compose, and sendmail for sending mail.

        You can get fetchmail from:

                ftp://ftp.ccil.org/pub/esr/fetchmail
        or:     
                http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail


L> 3. And finally about FTP managers. I have terrible phone
L> lines, so this type of apps is very important for me.
L> I need some FTP manager which can d/l simulteneously
L> several files and can resume broken downloads.

        You already have something that will do this... type "man ftp"
(without the " ").

L> Ability to work with several URLs to one file will be

        I'm not sure I know what you mean by this... but then again we're
all learning :)
