Eudora expects to dial into a Cisco terminal server.  Once the connection 
is made, it issues one of the following commands to the server:

   telnet hostname 105 /stream   (to fetch mail via the POP server)
   telnet hostname 25 /stream (to send mail via the SMTP server)

The hostname must be properly configured in Eudora's configuration dialog. 
The host must be running both POP3 and SMTP servers.

We use dialup Eudora in this way here at NU, and it works well.
