I just got my laptop set up to use a Novatel Merlin cdpd modem, and it's
working beautifully. I can ssh to my external mail server, and the
throughput is surprisingly fast, considering that cdpd is limited to 19.2k
from what I understand. I'm getting better reponse time from cdpd than I
do with a normal 56k modem.

Now I need to configure mail. I've got fetchmail working normally, but I'm
not comfortable about passing my mail over the airwaves in cleartext. Has
anyone successfully gotten fetchmail working through an ssh tunnel?
