Well, since I've lost my DOS hard drive and all the goodies I won't be
able to consult my configuration files for any tips so...

I assume you already have DOS internet stuff setup such as PPP and
all that. If not check out dospppd for PPP and dialer.
There are other dialer setups included in other packages like
the Arachne and Bobcat/Lynx browsers which use dospppd but with
different dialers.

You'll need a mail transport agent so you can retrieve/send mail
with Pmail. A few choices are pmpop, smtpop, and uh, hmm, I forgot the
other one and I used to use it. :-/ 
Oh yeah, popgate/smtpgate I think.
A lot of folks swear by smtpop.

Pmpop and popgate can be used from within pmail, not sure about smtpop.

At either the site below in my sig or at http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/
is a link to a site with info on setting up Pegasus DOS.
I believe it's Dan Komaromi's(?) site.
Info on popgate is at Tvdog's site below.

Been away from DOS too long now. Startin' to get the shakes. :-)
