I haven't actually tried it on such an "antique" system (since I
don't have one myself), but a good bet might be the 16-bit version
of Yan (ka9q) for mail transport and Olim as your mailreader.
Yan has a built-in dialer and ppp (it can also be run on top of a
packet driver), along with smtp, pop, nntp, ftp, http and a whole
lot of other tcp/ip stuff in a 160k executable. I will be using it
to send this message.
You can find both programs along with yandocs.zip close to home at
http://www.isis.ukgateway.net/. If you haven't used ka9q before,
you'll have to set up an autoexec.net config file. I have one that
works with PAP and dynamic IP. It's not easy, but I picked up a
couple of pointers on this list that got me over the hump.
There is also NetTamer (shareware) and few Wattcp mail transport
programs that might work for you.
