Hi, Listers. My wife and I went to visit her mom today in the mountains of
Sonora, California. Needless to say, there was no dsl and I couldn't use my
wife's cell phone to get my mail.
I had to use the modem in the MPower. I was surprised when I was asked for my
user ID and password. I thought I already had that set up in my email
configuration. But after entering the appropriate information, I was even more
surprised not to hear the modem connect and dial as it had in the bn classic.
It did connect, but without any sound.
The email then downloaded very quickly for a 56 k modem. It got those 131
mssages in no time without a pause or break. How great is that?
I don't know why the modem doesn't make a sound any more, but it sure works
well.
Reading email while riding in the car home was a breeze except for the road
bumps<grin>. I got through 246 messages in no time with the bn MPower only
taking a second or two to deleete the message when pressing control 8.
I can happily say that I no longer have a problem using or recommending that
other people use their MPowers to get email.
For those of you who haven't upgraded yet or haven't purchased an MPower yet,
You won't be disappointed with the speed of downloading or deleting email.
