There are a bunch of aftermarket packages for NT to do SMTP/POP3; I suspect 
that some of these have Win95 versions available. The problem with the NT 
solutions is that the Linux answer is CHEAPER if you have suitable hardware 
laying around. (price range for the commercial NT POP3 stuff runs from 
several hundred $ up to 'GNP of the third world country of your choice')
Try emailing Gary Gilmore at 1:2410/0. He's the honcho of the Win95 file 
distribution network; there may be a shareware POP3 for Win95.
I've been keeping half an eye on the Win95 FDN 'new arrivals' announcements, 
but I only remember seeing POP3 clients; no servers yet that I caught.
