<P>
|
|
<P>There are no specific hardware requirements for mail under Linux.
|
|
<P>You'll need some sort of 'transport' software to connect to remote systems,
|
|
which means either TCP/IP or uucp.
|
|
<P>This could mean that you need a modem or ethernet card, depending on your setup.
|
|
In most cases, you'll want the fastest modem you can afford, i.e. V90 57 600
|
|
bps currently. In general, you want to have a 16550 UART on your serial board
|
|
or built into your modem to handle speeds of above 9600 baud.
|
|
<P>If you don't know what that last sentence means, please consult the
|
|
<CODE>comp.dcom.modems</CODE> group or the various fine modem and serial
|
|
communications FAQs and periodic postings on USENET.
