I hooked my laptop up to a cell phone and tried to use Eudora to download my mail while out of town over New Year's. The time it actually made it far enough to start downloading messages, it made it through about 80 of them before hanging. Being WinDoze 1895, there's squat for information about what's going on, but kermit did work, with only one or two call drops. It's definitely a hostile environment. Some others around said they thought there might be timing problems with POP. -- Alan Batie ______ batie@agora.rdrop.com \ / Assimilate this! +1 503 452-0960 \ / --Worf, First Contact DE 3C 29 17 C0 49 7A 27 \/ 40 A5 3C 37 4A DA 52 B9 It is my policy to avoid purchase of any products from companies which use unrequested email advertisements or telephone solicitation.
