Well, it looks like im losing my battle with qmail...  I installed it 
following the life with qmail instructions.
I can load it without errors:

[root at www cbergeron]$ qmailctl stat                
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 18446) 79310 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 25086) 2574472 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 18449) 79310 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 25093) 2574472 seconds

It looks like it's running (ps aux snippet):

readproctitle service errors:..............................

I can send mail fine and I can receive mail fine both to and from 
external accounts.  The problem lies in the pop access.  For some reason 
I can't telnet to port 110.  My firewall is open (for SMTP and POP3). 
 I'd like to be able to check my email from a remote POP client, but 
can't figure out what's wrong.  

Which qmail service handles pop3?  Does qmail handle pop3? and if not, 
what program do I use to access my email on the linux box from another 
machine?

Suggestions & illumination are greatly appreciated...
