I want to pop messages from Exchange onto my workstation but leave the messages on the Exchange server. I want to be able to read my mail in low bandwidth situations as when up to a cabin over dialup – hence I want a text based mail reader (line pine or elm) rather than a gui mail reader. I’m running Fedora Core 4.

My computer has two operating systems on it, Windows XP and Fedora Core 4. I recently installed a dialup modem, which works perfectly fine in Windows. I just can’t seem to get it to work in Fedora. When I try to set it up, Fedora probes for it automatically, like it’s supposed to, which works fine. When I go to establish the connection, however, it comes up with something like “Unable to initialize modem with error 2″. I’d like to eventually convert totally over to Linux, but that’s not going to happen until I get a working internet connection in Fedora Core. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong, and how to set it up right?
