Eudora is a mac program that gets/sends mail. It will dial-up, send any outgoing mail you have typed up, and get any you have received. It is available fvia anon ftp at ux1.cs.uiuc.edu. You'll need the communications ToolBox, which is communications drivers from Apple (free, probably from your local dealer). -- ________________________________________________________________________________ Dan Walkowski | To understand recursion, Univ. of Illinois, Dept. of Comp.
