	Your email is not "pine".  Pine is a User Agent (UA) which helps
you to read/compose/etc. your email using a varity of protocols.  For
accessing your mailbox it either uses the "direct" method or a protocol
known as IMAP.  (It may also be forced to use POP3....but that's a 
different matter.  :-) )  Netscape has a built in email UA which uses POP3
as the protocol to access your mailbox.  So, it *may* be possible for you
to use Netscape to access your mailbox from a different location.
However, much of that depends on the network layer allowing this and if
your service provider supports POP3.  Chances are they support POP3.
However, the network level may not allow connections from a "different"
place.  It all depends on what you mean by different place.

	I'd suggest you check with your service provider as they should be
best equiped to answer this question.  Certainly they know more about your
situation than the 10's of thousands of pine users all over the world.

	Regards,

		Ed

A word of caution... be very careful as to how the other user is set up in
Netscape.  I tried to check my mail from a friend's system not knowing
that he had configured Netscape to download all msgs to his system, so all
of my mail was deleted from the server.  We ended up forwarding more than
50 msgs one by one to my mail address.
