I am testing a future application where we will have dedicated connection with 
IP
Address and domain name.

During testing, I am using dynamic IP assigned by ISP when I place the SLIP
call.  When I point browser or TELNET client to my host, I use the IP Address.

I did not mean the I telnet from the web.  I can reach my host by using a TELNET
client.   I can see AS/400 HTTP server by using browser, I can use Workstation
gateway from my browser, etc.

I was able to send SMTP mail from my AS/400.  For a different application where 
I
will not have a dedicated connection, I need to find out how to retrieve mail
stored on ISP's POP3 server to AS/400's POP3 server.   I have customer who dials
internet once a day from a PC and retrieves an email from his customer.  That
email has an attachment which we must upload to the 400 each day and convert to 
a
physical file.  We would like AS/400 to dial once or twice a day and retrieve
email from ISP's pop3 server and handle it directly with no user intervention.
