[aclug-L] Re: logging onto a MS NT LAN w/ Linux

["Nathan Cozzens" <ncozzens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The fetchmail website has lots of great info.  A pretty neat development
story.  I just have one question though......

It says "Fetchmail is a remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility
intended for use over on-demand TCP/IP links, like SLIP or PPP connections."

Can it still work when I'm on a LAN and trying to talk to the POP3 through a
proxy?
