So, I had a look at the page src. You are using a Java applet to "pop-up" a second login window. (as is poven by http://email.cisnet.com/webmail/login.asp , Java applets are NOT needed for logging-in) Where Java might be just fine for those "windows dummies". It's not fine for those of us who know how to operate computers properly. (deltree \windows and then install DR/OpenDos and Arachne for web browsing and eMail) So, if you want to make your system accessible to "any browser" (as you state further down in this message)..... get rid of that Java-crap. > Also, you can take this opportunity to visit > http://email.cisnet.com/webmail/login.asp At least this one CAN be logged into with Arachne. (no Java-crap) But, BIG PROBLEM after logging-in. Both the compose function and the delete function are using Java-script. Again, to make this system usable with "any browser"..... get rid of that JS-crap. You cannot claim "any browser" when what you REALLY mean is.... "Any windows browser". And you don't have to take my word for that..... Visit http://www.anybrowser.org/ for the "straight poop" on what makes a web site "any browser compatible". > This is the web based email which will allow you to send and receive your > email from any web browser from anywhere in the world.

Thanks and let me apologize in advance if > you get 5 or 6 of this email ;-) > Todd Now, I have a few questions about your new eMail server. Will it still use "standard, any browser compatible" SMTP? Will it still use "standard, any browser compatible" POP3? Will I still be able to "telnet in" and check my POP3 inbox? Will SMTP still be "blocked" from telnet? (nice security feature. Thank you for enabling that one). [See, I CAN say something positive]<very big grin> Thanks for listening. And I apologize if I've stepped on any toes with my ranting. -- Glenn McCorkle [EMAIL PROTECTED] North Jackson, Ohio, USA DOS prog. for QV cameras http://www.angelfire.com/id/glenndoom/qvplay.html Other stuff http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ Arachne, The Web Browser for DOS Open the 'DOOR' to the WWW.
