What I've been doing for a year or so is using a 9.6 modem for IP connectivity
to FTP Software, and using PCMAIL (I could also use another distributed mail
protocol like POP) to up- and down-load mail from my portable when it's at
home. I read it off-line, frequently on a commuter train.
The PCMAIL protocol uses dial-up time much more efficiently than I would
reading logged into a time-sharing system, but I'm not dealing with NetNews
this way; I have to actually read most of the 200+ messages a day...
