    Hello,

    What is the best way to configure fetchmail to regularly check for new
    mail on a dialup account? I tried doing it with a simple cron job like
    "pon && fetchmail && poff" but the last command for some reasons never
    worked. I also tried running pppd in "on-demand" mode, but somehow this
    did not work either. Is there a "normal" or "professional" way of doing
    it? Many thanks!
