Hi,

If you are using a shell account, then you will need to firstly set up
uqwk on that shell account to download all the mail and news into a
single .zip file which can then be imported into yarn.

If you are not using a shell account, and have a ppp connection, you
will need to go to the yarn site and link to the uka_ppp site to
download a copy of uka_ppp.

When you have uka_ppp set up correctly, we can talk about this further.

What parts of the manual do you not fully understand?

Andrew.
