What is the cost?  I like Pine, and like the useability of telnet as I can
get to it from the hospital, but with my network being a freenet network I
don't have much flexibility in terms of doing a lot.  I think that my
issue may be with the Windows Fire Wall, and I'm looking at some of the
telnet settings in there, and am wondering if I should just get rid of
that fire wall as I have another one through my anti-virus program.
