Hi Paul, Thanks for telling us about your email experience with the mPower. This is certainly very encouraging and I can't wait to try the email program for myself on my own mPower unit when I receive it some time soon. It's rather interesting that the dial tone doesn't sound when you connect via the internal modem, so I'll come to expect this behaviour from my own mPower as I use dial-up here. As for being disappointed, that certainly will not be the case with me as I'm hanging out for this unit like you wouldn't believe <Grin David
