I do not always have IC up and running (don't need it to connect), but had started running it to check on apparent slowness/delays on emails going out. Internet Connect has the two bars (sending/receiving) that (like with in OS 9's control panel... OT?/PPP?) can show me if there is activity going out or coming in. Allows me to see 1) if my system sends anything out to the mail server (yes), and 2) if the mail server has responded (no, or verrrryyyy sllloooww in getting back to my computer). Glad you haven't had to use SBC/Yahoo's tech support yet. First, you will have to wait a while just to get through (am growing to hate automated phone systems), and then when you do get to a tech person, several/most times (haven't been doing any statistical study of my calls, y'know) they cannot resolve my problem. But as I said, things may be otherwise for you (do you work for them or have a relative who does? Maybe that's what I need). Glad for your good luck. I'm just not impressed with SBC/Yahoo's service or connections in outstate Missouri. You may be in an urban area and that can make the difference.
