I just talked to Comcast phone support and said I was a Linux user and needed the info (to paraphrase Dr. Evil). They were quite helpful and succint. The information I got for Nashua was: outgoing email: smtp.comcast.net incoming email: mail.comcast.net (POP3) They confirmed nothing else needed changing (didn't ask about news). My new email will be my old username in the comcast.net domain. They said the existing username would *not* be carried over in all cases. The changes are affective 00:00 EDT 7/1/03. I personally would manually set this stuff even if I were using windoze. I don't want to be coerced into checking any boxes on some online signup thing. Of course I try to never use my windoze box on the internet, mostly a matter of principle. Note their webpages state that continued use of their service is implicit agreement to their terms and conditions. They did not mention issues with email forwarding when not using the "transition wizard", although I did not specifically ask. -dl -- David A.
