I'm looking for a POP3 client for a VM/CMS mainframe so I can use a winsock
reader for reading my mail.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try WinQVT as a client.  If a server is what you are really looking
for (the part that runs on the mainframe) you might look at the ftp
site at UC Berkeley.  This is where the POP server was developed.
They would know if one for VM exists.

Actually, you want a POP3 SERVER (the PC is the client).  Yes, there is
such a thing, but it should be installed by systems programming personnel
(in order to use certain privileged commands and to be started at system
IPL time).

Check check the [e-mail] archives (supported via
Revised Listserv for VM, [e-mail]) or check recent
traffic in bit.listserv.ibmtcp-l newsgroup.

Subject: Visual C++ port of WSOCK


Hi, the file telsock.zip is available from
131.170.32.127 (mg.co.rmit.edu.au)

TELSOCK is a port of the example
provided with the 32 bit Visual C++ compiler called WSOCK

I have ported the program into Visual C++ and have attempted
to add in code to control a telephone switch through the
parallel port.  It is intended to use this program under
DOS/WINDOWS.

The program works fine under Windows NT, that is I can connect two
instances of the program and can send messages between them.

However it will not work when I compile and run it under DOS
using Visual C++ 1.0.

We have Novell running here and I am using the Novell tcpip (sockets).

Would someone please compile and run it using the Microsoft TCPIP and
sockets and see if it works.  Two things are required:
1.  specify the pc name like   mg.co.rmit.edu.au    (example)
the hosts file must have this pc name in it and the IP address
2.  the suggested socket number is 12

There are two files telsock.16 and telsock.32, these are the corresponding
make files for Visual C++

I hope that the file is of interest. If you find the problem
please let me know.

Please send any replies to

I know it is a faq, but can someone tell me where I can find a
Telnet Client for winsock (not winqvtet)?
