Cygnus Network Security comes with an old and somewhat buggy version of
popper, which has been enhanced with Kerberos IV support.  This version is
apparently pretty much straight out of the MIT K-IV dist.

I have integrated K-IV support, based on the CNS code, into the Qualcomm
enhanced popper, also fixing a few bugs here and there and hopefully not
introducing any extras.  Patches (and a pointer to qpopper) available upon
request.  No warranty, as usual.

This popper works with Eudora 2.1 using KClient, with some configuration
tweaks needed for Eudora.  It should work with the other Kerberized POP
client code that comes with CNS (such as the KPOP'ed movemail).
