Yes, it is called PPP.
You make a PPP connection over the serial line and you access the host on the

Is there a US PGP .deb package anywhere? I will be darned if I can

To clarify my last response.
Lets say you have a windows workstation with Eudora. It keeps its own
outbox, inbox and folders.
ssmtp allows you do so much the same thing with a Unix workstation. You
set up your mail client ... say ... xfmail ... to pull the mail from your
