Can you access the login form at myrealbox using Arachne?
I have just found out I csn *not* do it using the following browsers:
Arachne v 1.66 for Linux (GGI interface), Links, Lynx and Netscape 3.04
under Linux (with JS disabled). I can log in using NS 3.04 when javascript
is enabled.
POP and SMTP work fine for me using various Linux e-mail clients
(unfortunately, Insight can't be found in Linux Arachne and POP/SMTP
access is not implemented).
I wonder if the free e-mail service at mail.rol.ro can be accessed from
abroad. They offer free POP/SMTP access too, at least here, in Romania.
AFAIK their interface is available only in Romanian (and seems it can't
be used with Arachne).
