You can open your inbox in editor (Norton Commander, MS_-DOS Edit etc.) and delete 25 headers.

In some cases, this requires that the FCC itself performs "type acceptance" certification. Many devices, including almost all radio transmitters, and all telephones, carry an ID number tied to this certification. This database is a way to look up the manufacturer/model and perhaps some additional information about a device, based on the above ID number. -- | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jerel. --- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 22:08:28 PDT From: "Jerel D.

However, I sometimes debate about whether or not to allow a posting through, especially a post like this that is clearly in error. It has already been explained that an FCC id is indeed a number and is required on any telecommunications device sold in the US. Please, accmailers, if you are going to post, be sure of your facts first... A simple mistake is a non-problem area and we all make these. However, when a definitvie statement is made like the answer to this question, then further misunderstanding ensues and causes problems for all members. -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 10:08:16 -0700 From: "Gerald E.

Good question. I can tell you that the second document is using an old PDF version. ver 1-1 is really old. New Acrobat Reader is up to version 4.0. Secondly, using my dial-up 56K connection and Netscape browser I can get the page to load but it takes forever - I mean slow. However, If I use my DSL connection and Explorer, the page loads instantly. So all I can say is that it has something to do with the site, the browser and the connection and the version of the PDF document. -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 17:49:05 -0300 From: Javier Cruz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: where I can find Classes or Libraries of Java?

What do most ACCMAILers use to read Usenet? >What do you recommend me? Thanks in advance, Reference.com is still down. I use gophermail methods but they are not the easiest. If you could get a one-time connection to the 'net, then the MyDeja service is great. It requires a web page and installs a "cookie" in your cache but after that all reading of selected Usenet newsgroups is done by email. Some users have reported success with [EMAIL PROTECTED] sending the news:// command. Unfortunately, this requires finding an active free NNTP server to use. I have been suggesting that users retrieve this web page: http://www.freenntp.com/complete.htm I made a request of MyDeja to allow the signup by email methods rather than the web page. Have heard nothing back since a "thanks for your note we will look into it" response. Actually, it was a little better than that! -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ End of ACCMAIL Digest - 20 Jul 1999 to 21 Jul 1999 (#1999-203) **************************************************************
