[Sheflug] Assorted newbie problems

[Harvey Kelly <nospam [at] kelly.uklinux.net>]

Dear All,

Having decided to "learn" Linux (whatever the hell that means), I've tried
using Pine for my mail, Lynx for browsing, and avoided KDE/Gnome like the
plague.  My queries are: 1) How do you fetchmail?  I can hear all your groans
as I write this, but hey...  and 2) I'm using wvdial (SuSE 6.2) to open and
close the connection, is there an easier (command-line based) way?  On
the Sheflug site I've noticed a dummy script, but I'm a bit wary of fiddling and
messing up my system.  Obviously I'm using something else (KDE - Kmail) to send
this, but I would much prefer to be using WindowMaker ( & Enlightenment come to
think about it) instead.

Alex has given me a couple of pointers, and did he (you) write that script
at sheflug.co.uk?  Can I just insert that script to solve the dial-up problem?
 And if so, how?

Thanks

Harvey
