Thanks for the help Daniel. I knew I could count on you for a few good answers. I have Eudora checking for mail now. I figured that one out just before I called in to SI.
I will be buying OAT when my tax return gets back. I ordered HDS Mail for our school district and am just waiting for the key, Kagi notified me that it is completed on their end. I emailed Ken to see if I could get it by Sunday, but no luck yet.
I can't get a better deal than my current ISP. They donated the line to me in a deal similar to what you received. I wonder how long it will last. I suppose indefinitely as long as what I am providing is worthwhile to them.
My password is not working on your system. Are you trying to teach me a lesson or something or did your system go haywire? Is it possible that you are having the troubles that I am with TF Server constantly disconnecting User Manager? Rusty are you reading this? I have not seen any similar reports so I assumed my difficulties are connected to my tcp-ip connection problem.
