This assumes that your username on the server is the same as it is on the local system. If it isn't do: {pop.isp.com/pop3/user=remote_user_name}inbox It's possible that the server also supports IMAP. In that case just leave off the /pop3 part. Imap is much nicer. It's even possible to set Pine to use all your remote folders as if they were local with IMAP. HTH.
