I'm slowly decoding this - it's actually not too bad. It shows the power (and
potential complexity) of the ?: operator. It's also showing recursion of
main(). It's also showing main() to have non-standard arguments (ie, instead
of:
main (int argc, char **argv, char **envp)

Try looking up about APOP authentication. Not all POP servers support it
though, and I don't know what mail client support for APOP is like, but I
think fetchmail is quite happy with it. APOP takes your username and

*does* come with drivers, but damned if I can get them working (a mix of
undefined symbols and wrong kernel versions - build for 2.2.5 uni-processor,
and we have a 2.2.14 2-proc SMP system). So I've given up tryin
Okay - a few minutes searching with google (gotta live that search engine)
found a patch bonding-0.2.tar.gz which looks like it'll do the job quite
nicely. If anyone is interested, http://pdsf.nersc.gov/linux/
It also looks like its standard in 2.2.15 and higher.
