Hey William,
        I use FiFTP to get my mail from SStar over the INet.  SStar is the 
North American zone gate, and I'm calling him from Japan.
        If you anonymous FTP to ftp.sstar.com, and check there, you will find 
many different methods to do what you want to do.  Ranging from REXX scripts, 
to aps.  FiFTP is an OS/2 app.  v.3 is out now, and is not pretty to look at, 
but runs great.  There is a v.4 out in testing right now, that looks very 
nice.
        Chris
