Yep. And the latest version locks up good on this Tandy. I never made it
past the configuration stage. Mucho slow, too.
Last time I used it was a couple of years ago as part of a package called
UKA_MIN. It was uka_ppp with the beta_16 version of Minuet.
Else or believe it SimTel has the real old version lying around.
I think it was SLIP-based (or at least the archive name implies that).

Smtpop was made as a replacement for PMPOP which has a number of
shortcomings. I have smtpop12 but still use pmpop mostly.
Smtpop seems faster.
Another alternative is POPGATE. I had to use this with one ISP when
both pmpop and smtpop wouldn't work properly with it (gte.net).
At that time I also got it to work as the Lynx 386 sendmail.
So for Pegasus Mail either three should work.
There is one more transport that's unfinished but has one nice feature.
It's called DRUPOP. Though I would not use it for transferring mail
it does have the one feature missing from the DOS world, the ability
to show how many messages you have waiting on your ISP's POP server.
I use it as my 'checkmail' utility sometimes.
One more called POPDUMP which is included in the WATTCP apps archive.
All it does is retrieve POP3 mail.
