Dear List, It was a rather frustrating day. My neigbours called on me for help a few weeks ago... the computer went down. Completely down, the harddisk was low level formatted.
Virus?? We will never know. But they are using their bussiness, children chatting and e-mailing on ONE computer... windows of course. To have that machine down would be a disaster! So I advised to restore the first computer, an IBM pentium one, and make it fit for Arachne and use this computer for e-mail and a bit of internet only. So I installed 171UE... lots of troubles... and bought a modem. Lots of troubles again :-(( Made a direction for use in Dutch, lot of work. Tonight I brought the machine back installed passwords, telephone numbers, etc. All went fine, but... They were not using the provider with POP3 and SMTP for e-mail but: www.hotmail.com No way for Arachne... total lock up with switching off the mains as a remedy. How to explain this to your neighbours? Is there a way to use Arachne for hotmail? Regards, Bastiaan
