Sure you can. (With a Tech or better Amateur License of course.) I
use Jabber, FreeAgent and POP for Email from a Windows 98 systerm,
through a Linux router to a Linux gateway. All are relatively low
traffic systems and work adequately even at a mere 1200 baud. A
couple other postings here had some good details on how to do it.
