+First, make sure your fetchmail has the RPA support compiled in.
+Stock fetchmail binaries (such as you might get from an RPM) don't.
+You can check this by looking at the output of <code>fetchmail -V</code>;
+if you see the string "+RPA" after the version ID you're good to go,
+otherwise you'll have to build your own from sources (see the INSTALL
+file in the source distribution for directions).<P>

+Give your RPA pass-phrase as your password. An RPA-enabled fetchmail
+will automatically check for csi.com in the POP server's greeting
+line. If that's found, it will query the server to see if it is
+RPA-capable, and if so do an RPA transaction rather than a plain-text
+password handshake.<P>
