Hi Jose. I heard of this on the vip-l list. When you say GMAIL is like and ISP, does it just off email services or internet as well? I am currently with Telstra BigPond broadband and find it a bit costly, but wouldn't want to swap unless I saw had some good reasons. After all, even if I joined up for email with GMAIL, I'd still have to pay for my broadband connection and downloads. Isn't that right?
I have been following this discussion but still need some clarification on other things too because I don't understand the internet that well. I currently have ADSL broadband at home. I have the wireless router (that little square box with all the connections) and a wireless card for my BN. What would be necessary for me to access email and the Internet outside of home? A lot of the stuff that Syndi and the others wrote about is still going off my head. As may have said the other day, I can't access the internet at TAFE because of their lack of phone line connections and high security. If some real knowledgeable person wants to email me off-list, to save the same old stuff being rehashed again and boring the blazers out of you all, please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think I put the wrong address last time but this should definitely work. Cheers!

But its free and its offered by google. That's why its called Gmail. Actually I never heard of e-mailing google instead of doing a search. Where did you find that out? Where did you here that?
