Eudora has a setting to check mail every X minutes. It makes a noise when it finds that mail was present. There is an option somewhere (in OT or Remote Access?) to let internet applications cause your computer to log into your ISP. So instead of opening Remote Access and clicking Connect, you just double click your browser and it takes control of RA and gets you connected. If you enable this feature, Eudora will connect you whenever it needs to check mail. Of course, you'll probably want to enable the feature in Remote Access that Disconnects after X minutes of Inactivity, otherwise you'll stayed logged on indefinitely after your email client connects you to check mail.
