	I do all my email in pine -- on my ISP's machine, not my
own. (I have a shell account. Eat your hearts out. <grin>) I use
ssh much like that except that I also have to tell it "-p xxxx"
where xxxx is a port number that my ISP uses for this, and yes, it
is indeed a four-digit number. I haven't tried leaving that out;
got it from tech support at the ISP.

	The same sign in works with both OSX 10.1.5 and YDL 2.2

	(Note, which may matter: I have one ISP which I connect to
first, because it provides DSL, and another for the shell account.
So I'm logging in from one ISP to another, not directly from home.)
