Hi everyone, 2 questions (Linux 1.2.13, XFree86 3.1.2):

1) I start X, use dip to dial my ISP, then either run XFmail using
the POP option (not looking in /var/spool/mail) or telnet to my ISP's
machine and run elm there to get mail.  I also run netscape for web
stuff but that's not relevent here.  How can I have my computer
automatically call up my ISP once a day (or however often) and download
mail to /var/spool/mail and news (only in groups i've subscribed to)
to /var/spool/news (or wherever it goes)??   I've read in one of the
howtos that it can be done with a uucp connection, but I would prefer
to use my current SLIP connection.

2) What (and where) are other X based mail and newsreaders?? (apart
from XFmail)

Thanks a lot (in advance),
Dave.
