GLOSSARY

    lets you access it over the internet.
  POP - Post Office Protocol; your mail waits on a "big" computer
    until your Mac picks it up.
  POP2 - The old version of POP.
  POP3 - The new version of POP.
  SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol; how mail gets around the Internet.
    Requires the machines that talk it to be up most of the time.
  UUCP - Unix to Unix CoPy.  Dialup file transfer protocol; news and mail
    are normally layered on top of it.  Used by sites without Internet
    connections.
  MacTCP - Software that lets a Mac speak to the Internet.

Speaking as the author of one of the above (Eudora), I'd just like to
personally offer to come out and install Eudora for you.  You'd have
to pay the airfare, of course.  I think it would take about a week,
maybe two.  :-)
