It seems like if POP Mail is working for you, telnet isn't an issue. I'm not familiar with POP Mail, but it sounds like it's similar to my method.
I've had trouble using NCSA Telnet 2.7x, so I stick with BetterTelnet 1.x. I think some telnet servers just don't like the former, but that's just my guess, I don't know enough about this to be sure. Anyway, you need to find out (from your isp) which server to telnet to, and you log in via command line, and they need to have pine or elm available to run from that server (just type pine or elm at the prompt, after you finish logging on). -Peter On Thu, 8 Aug 2002, Guias Lux wrote: > Would you please explain a bit more how to do that; I tried with NCSA Telnet > 2.7b4 (fat) but I could not understand how it worked.
