Pine has an *unsuable* mode?? Sounds like a special feature for flamers and
spammers ;)

I'm doing the same thing here. smail is configured to try sending them mail
every 4 minutes and if I'm just online for a very short time I invoke that
with "runq"

NT is not Ok. really. it uses only 20-25MB for file system cache while 50mb
RAM lie around unused. not very efficient. And AFAIK you can switch NT to
"file server" mode - where it also uses swap space as FS cache :((
