Eeek no.  (The Delphi mail/menu system is really slow & clunky.)  I
only use Delphi to telnet back to Real/Time or home.  I guess if you
want SLIP access for your laptop that doesn't work as well.  (My
laptop is a '86-vintage Z181 that weighs about 12 lbs and doesn't even
have a hard drive.  I'll probably replace it when I'm convinced that
PCMCIA has stabilized.)

Don't I remember something about there being versions of Eudora that
would work without SLIP?  It should be possible to rig up something,
but the Eudora client would have to provide some level of support.
