You probably know this but you can play with the following
until you get something that works,
telnet freewwweb.com 110
user <yourusername>
pass <yourpass>
Then you have to get fetchmail to play nice with the information.
As I said in an early msg, I was getting through about 1 time in 3.
This is one attempt after the other. I don't know what would cause
that and don't much care any more. Free access is popping up all
over the place, high speed in some places if you have the right
profile.
