| 17 | The biff client and comsat server are an antiquated method of | |
| 18 | asynchronous mail notification. Although they are still supported, most | |
| 19 | users use their shell's MAIL variable (or csh shell's mail variable) to | |
| 20 | check for mail, or a dedicated application like xbiff or xmailbox. If | |
| 21 | the comsat service is not enabled, biff won't work and you'll need to use | |
| 22 | either the MAIL or mail variable. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | You may want to install biff if you'd like to be notified when mail | |
| 25 | arrives. However, you should probably check out the more modern | |
| 26 | methodologies of mail notification (xbiff or xmailbox) instead. | |
