I am curious to know if there is an assembler for freebsd?  If yes, what
are the major differences I will encounter coming from coding in TASM's
Ideal mode?

Also, my connection to the internet is via a dial-up dynamic ppp
connection.  What is the simplest way to have my freebsd system fetch
mail upon connection, so I don't have to use a mail client or something?
