Olin,

thanks for responding....

specifically.. how to negotiatate (or figure out how to negotiate) the
connection to the mail server ?
I have a PIC board with an 802.11b wireless card on it,   and I have a
wireless access point router connected to the internet through a cable
modem.   I can communicate to the PIC card using a PC with a wireless card
on it, that goes through the access point (with TCP/IP).   How do I
negotiate the connection with the mail sever,  from the PIC board...through
the router?   Will I have to send out IP addresses, passwords etc...... and
what responses will I get and need to respond to?  How do I determine that?

Thanks,

Mark Sullivan
