Ah. The "server" I'm talking to is actually the DLL on the
local machine. So even if I had COM for Linux (and it worked),
I'd still have to talk to the DLL on the Win95 machine which
would then get my e-mail from Exchange Server. If I still have
to have that Win95 machine running, I might as well just leave
the Python program on it.

That's what I was afraid of.
