My basic goal is to get access to my home email account using my notebook's modem through an inexpensive service where I could connect for a few minutes a day and receive & send my letters. I have been advised that it is not technically possible to allow way to Eudora while closing access to the Web and therefore there are not inexpensive options. I have been offered instead an email-only through "Unix Shell using Pine" but I am not familiar with it and have been told that you have to read and write your letters while being connected. I have seen a US provider offering the type of account I require but could not get a response from him. I would appreciate any instructions that I could pass as a "recipe" for creating this type of accounts.
