Subject: Use PINE With Internet Service Provider via Modem

Can I use PINE running on my UNIX system to connect to an internet 
service provider vis modem and send/receive internet email?  My service 
provider tells me that I require MIME compliance, which I see that PINE 
is.  I'm confused about where the various layers of a mail system start 
and stop.  Thanks for your help.

On my system, we run Pine over sendmail. The layers as I see them:

				Pine (user interface)
				---------------------
				Sendmail (transport)
				---------------------
				Unix (operating sys)

Sendmail handles the connection to the ISP. Sendmail's alias is smtp, which
is the command you'll want to search for to see what's running behind the
scenes. If you're on SCO Unix, try looking for "mmdf".

Good luck!
