That's nearly but not quite completely correct. There are programs
available that can make your mail available provided you have them
running on a system that is logged on to Demon via a normal
connection. For instance the WINDIS package has a POP3 server
built-in. You can access this (it says in the manual) from anywhere on
the net. Demon's standard DOS software has a telnet server.

I set up my system here to dial into Demon every day using a
time-switch, and could telnet in from the USA, but only while my
machine here was connected. It's a kludge but it will work.
