Try http://www.nettamer.net/ Nettamer, isn't quite command line, but it may work for you. It works very well for email and usenet, and is dirt simple. I used to use it on an 8088. I believe the author also has a few command line programs as well, but I've never used them. Chad Fernandez Michigan, USA Vintage Computer Festival wrote:

I think you're looking for is an MTA, not an MUA. It seems like smail used to be buildable on DOS. You might also try to find a copy of Bdale Garbee's "bm" mailer; not sure if it does what you need, but it's at least worth looking. De

Aha. Then try using the correct terminology. You need a DOS-based SMTP mailer, not a "command-line email client". There are zillions of SMTP mailers, I can send you a copy of the one I wrote many moons ago, which I still use for status reporting off some DOS boxes doing process control. Basically, like most other DOS network programs, it uses a network stack (MSNET, Trumpet, CMU, PC/TCP or NCSA) to talk to the network, so you need to have that installed. --f
