to allow your server to answer POP requests you have to install configure
and launch a pop daemon. i don't use it so i can't tell you more (should
be popd or pop3d ?).
dialing in is described in PPP-howto (little help but there are pointers
to other HOWTOS)
you want to redial on connection drop but from server side or client side
? from client side that should be easily done hacking your ppp script
(put it in an endless loop with just an exit possible : when you want to
hang the phone) or from the server side ??

Subject: Some questions
I am configuring a linux server and a few questions have popped up.
1. Mail-I have been able to configure the local mail fine. But how do I
allow pop access. I thought that once I made the user accounts that the
pop
access would be there automatically, but thats not the case. When I try
to
access my server at port 110 it basically tells me that the server times
out. So there must be something that I need to add or modify.
2. Dialing in-Does someone have a dial in script that will force a redial
if the connection drops? Or is there a program that will do that?
Thanks in advance
Jim
