Played some more with dselect. It upgraded a load more stuff for me, including font stuff which should be useless on a console system.
Installed vim-python which is vim with integrated python. It Just Worked.
Installed qpopper which appears to be THE pop server. It Just Worked. I could use it to receive email on the laptop. I managed to send email via the server as well, although I had to enable relaying for the laptop's ip address. Looking at the headers, the isp has added a warning about the message originating from a dialup. Cheek.
Anyway, the pop gives me limitless email accounts.
