I believe your email address on Grex is randcode @ cyberspace.org. You
would check it by logging into Grex and using the command "pine" or
"mutt". 

You may see faster responses by using ssh, rather than telnet, and will
certainly improve the assurance of the integrity of the information
relating to your account, in that all traffic pertaining to telnet is
subject to interception, whereas traffic used by ssh is transferred over
an encrypted channel. 

You can find a great client for both ssh and telnet for Microsoft
Windows (any version after Win95) available at
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/. Another good one is
http://3sp.com/products/applications/unitty/unitty.jsp, which is
automatically more portable by dint of being implemented in java (a
language designed for portability). 

You will not automatically receive notifications of updates to fora via
email, though you could, if so inclined, create a script or code to
accomplish this. 

Welcome to Grex.
