Life without shell accounts? Help.

For a couple of years I have had good success using Yarn (OS/2 and DOS
versions) to download and process news and mail. I use filters to sort
the mail into pseudo news groups, as described in the documentation. I
have been using a shell account and my ISP's uqwk commands.

Now my ISP is abandoning shell accounts and offers Dynamic PPP instead.
Other ISPs rarely offer shell accounts, and I am now asking you whether
it is possible to use Yarn without one, and just how. For example, can I
connect with a dialling program like Warp's DOIP and then invoke a
reconfigured Yarn? Many thanks for your comments.

Cheers,
