Can't imagine not using an OLR.
Can't wait to setup the OLR in Linux, I've downloaded two, ATP
and my familiar MultiMail.
My Linux project is moving forward in spurts due to poor
health. I'll work at it for a few days at a time than need a break.
Much progress made but much more to go.
Still haven't figured out what Verizon mail wants for authentication
in SMTP despite many attempts. I've got to figure out what file defines
what is in the mail.conf file and what Verizon's SMTP wants
for authemtication.
One I get past that I may very well move to Linux as my primary O.S.
Still haven't got X-Windows running but haven't put much effort in 
lately but think I'm *very* close to making that one happen.
Soon as X-Windows flies I'm nuking the old Slackware release
and upgrading to 8.1
I'm going to have to link up some files as you suggested as
my POP3 mail still insists I insert a disk with relavent info
from the earlier ramdrive version first unless I merely open
and close that file on the hard drive, than all proceeds 
smoothly with no need for that disk. Read my old
Slackware book and found it wanting in many areas but one place it
excells and that's the explaination of the VI editor 
which though less comprehensive gets me going again far quicker than
the book I have on that editor.
