Dear List: We get a lot of backpackers here who all want to use hotmail of course. There is a German webmail site which works with Arachne, but we have to tell the Hotmail clients to give up. I did have a Netscape 4.1 running on Windows 3.1 just to get into Hotmail, but recently that has stopped working as well - you get nearly through all the login protocol and suddebly you are thrown back to the start. The thing to do is to get either a server who will run NEOMAIL as a webmail program, or who will allow telnets, and be prepared to install arachne on other peoples computer.
Kali PS after some months of frustration I eventually got a PPPD/chat login to work. all those different config files, and I have no idea how PPPD reads them.... The "expect send" sequence is tricky too... http://www.nimnet.asn.au/~kali
