How to run Windows apps on Linux?

How do i run windows files on my linux? Im on dialup so im not really lookin to download a huge freakin file lol :P

I know its possible, i have done a research and i know people who run win on linux, never had a chance to ask because i was never interested untill now.

How can I make my dialup modem under linux not disconnect itself when under a heavy load, such as downloading?

Whenever I try to do something like downloading any decent-sized file(that would take over 2 minutes or so), my modem just disconnects. I think our phone lines are messed up in the first place(lightning zapped our house), but do I really have to be unable to download anything without babysitting it and resetting the connection every 2 minutes? Our windows computer seems to handle loads “okay” with the same line, but neither my laptop with a PCMCIA modem nor my desktop with a winmodem can seem to handle the stress.

Thanks!

What is best text based Linux mail reader and how do you connect set it up to pop from MS Exchange?

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.
