- NUPop was originally based upon UMinn's POPMail. I started with whatever
- version was current in June of 1991. The programs have diverged in many
- respects, and the code is quite different now. I and the POPMail folks
- at UMinn do exchange code regularly.

- You may use the FINGER client in NUPop to access WHOIS servers. Just add
- the port number (43 is typical) after the name of the whois server.
-
- NUPop also includes a PH client. We use PH at Northwestern for our address
- server instead of whois.

- You may specify the port for ANY server in NUPop by placing it after the
- name (or IP number) of the server.
