So I run fetchmail on my server and have clients (netscape and that other one
that I'm not allowed to name) read mail from the server using IMAP also ?

In fact these were linux questions.. My 'main' linux server uses pppd,
ipchains (firewall & proxy) and a caching name server to serve internet
connections to my 'other' linux boxes (most of which are dual boot), on a full
time basis.
The Z: drive I refered to is served by samba and the netscape I refer to is
being run on linux as I type.
How much more Linux do you want!!!!
My main reasons for asking these questions are migration related. As a newbie
(& recently joined SLUG member) I can't just drop what I know (QNX in great
detail, WINNT just a bit). In fact having been serious about linux for just
under 6 months, I reckon I've done OK. (I've even written a simple kernel
module!!)
So, as your rules say... DONT FLAME THE NEWBIE...
Thanks for your help,
Andrew E.
