Subject: Can Pine Retreive Mail over PPP link?

I would like to run Linux and have pine as the mailer.
Can pine retreive my mail when I dial up like Eudora? 
I don't want to have a new mail address that involves my host
name.

Thanks
Rob

Linux comes with a utility called popclient type 'man popclient' 
without the quotes of course.

I use popclient and it puts the mail in my system mailbox.  I
have the .pinerc configured to send to smtp.kaiwan.com 
instead of sendmail and can therefore send mail to anyone
who is not on my system.
