Looks like it's not that simple after all. I added the POP3 stuff to 
STARTUP.NOS, swapped the NOS.TTPs and the thing just locked up when I 
tried to run it. Wouldn't even dial :-(

Well, the version of Antmail in the WWW131 package locked up while 
trying to get mail, but I've just tried the latest version from umich 
and had success at last :-)

Looks like Antmail is the way to go in the circumstances.

Thanks for the help anyway!
