If you want to know what email is waiting for you, finger
longevb@post.demon.co.uk. For more indepth information, telnet to
sdps.demon.co.uk on the port it specifies in the finger (I *think* it's
666)

Or you could telnet to sdps port 110 & login as a pop3 client.

Generally, it's not really worth it unless you have 100+ messages coming
in each day. I subscribe to several mailing lists and receive 30-40
messages/day and find it easier to just let Sendmail/procmail do there
stuff and find out what I've got when I disconnect.
