Yes, you'll need fetchmail. ELM is simply a mail reader with a set of neat utilities. You will need fetchmail to receive mail from your ISP, and a local mail server of some sort to send your messages to your ISP. You probably have smail installed already. Other alternatives are sendmail, exim (my favourite), qmail, etc. It might take some time to get everything set up, but once it is set, it is wonderful. :-) I can read and write e-mail, on-line or off-line. Whenever I dial in to the university server, the computer automatically sends and receives my messages. :-) (Check your ip-up and ip-down scripts that comes with either the "ppp" or "diald" package, if you use the latter.)
