Hi.

I use Windows 95 dialup to dial, whichis quite easy once you have
written a script (i can mail you one). I use Pegasus for mail, with
WinDIS to convert it to a pop3 system. It imports all settings from
DIS dos. I then have created a program that automates the loading of
the e-mail utilites. I am currently releasing it as BETA, but it will
be free. Please e-mail if you are interested.
