Do you have a specific IP address (as some of NetVision customers do), or 
you are a regular dialup customer?
If the latter is the correct one, which means that you've just edit your 
host name file, you won't get your mail. In this case you simply have to 
connect to NetVision mail server, as any other user, and retreive your 
mail with some good old POP3 client for linux.
BUT - if you do have a domain name for your computer - it means that a 
search in a DNS can bring your IP, and in that case - the mail sent 
according to your domain name will be routed toward your computer (that 
means that if your computer is not on a point to point line there will 
some problems with the mail...)
You can also ask NetVision to enter an alias to route all the mail which 
is sent to your domain name to the normal username@netvision.

netvision under linux - you can post me or reach me at NetVision ppp support)
