Sorry, you got me wrong ... they don't have a problem dialing in, they
get a connection and can send mail, surf the 'net, but don't get anything.
(The ppp password had disappeared, too, but we could fix that 'by phone').
I am thinking now that maybe the pop3 passwd has also disappeared, as
everything worked fine when I tested it over here ... though the packet
driver for 3c509 seemed pretty buggy :(

Unfortunately, they don't have a shell account (commercial providers
don't offer such things here ... security). Anyway I hope to fix it
without changing the password :)

Did he? Missed that ;) Anyway, as I said I hope I can solve the problem
tomorrow - everything worked fine here (with the same account :) ).

Hm, I had a problem with 1.50src and yahoo.com, the latter complaining
that cookies didn't work ... is this a known issue and is it fixed
in 1.60?
Sry for the longish post, but my uni's network was down for 2 days,
catching up ...
