For your morning you can not beat using ssh, though you will have to
enter a password. I really suggest using mozzila at night as you need a
web and irc client anyways. I am not in the computer industry and have
done next to no payed work on computers. 500 Mhz is way fast, at least
from my perspective. I suggest that you load up windows 98 and then make
it lite (
http://www.litepc.com/).
I am assuming that whoever runs your email has pine
Going off memery at the command line:
>ssh site -l username
Next it will prompt for a password
>whatever
It will promt you to accept the key. tyoe yes or whatever it wants
>yes
next you want to use pine
>pine
all the controll are on screen now
like for me at asu
>ssh general.asu.edu -l rwultsch
>????????
>pine
btw how much ram do you have?
