I find Bob Cain's comments that PGP should not be used on a netcom account disturbing. I think the priority that should be set is to get people using PGP, "in the habit" and then make sure they are using it on a local PC or Mac.

Some people, believe it or not, might only have acess to a multi-user systems. These people should not be denied acess to PGP.

This is what I do. I connect to the net through SLIP and then use Eudora to retrieve my mail from a DECstation. PGP is secure that way. However, the password to attach to the POP server goes out in plaintext, and was undoubtedly compromised in the packet-sniffing incident we heard so much about. I have been trying to look into alternatives to plaintext passords flying around, but have only confused myself. What is available?
