  I understood it the first time.  I tried that.  By using the
  static DNS numbers I was able to surf the net, but I was not able
  to receive or send email.  By using the dynamically assigned DNS
  numbers I can do anything I want on the internet.

How would you be able to resolve WWW addresses but not mail server addresses?
That seems strange.  Maybe if you got the IP address of the mail server, you
would have been able to send or receive email?  Or was that address variable
too?

There was discussion some time back on this list about using another ISP's
DNS.
