Lisa, This makes sense to me. Is there any way you can try this out from your home phone. It would be a long distence call or two. But if you from your home, dial into your mom's ISP using the settings as you discribed, then you could know if this work before you travel to your mom's home.
Now, if this doesn't work, here is another suggestion. Earthlink allows you to set up forwording of your e-mail to another address. You could, during your visit, set up Earthlink to forword your e-mail to your mom's e-mail account. So you can directly log on to your mom's account, and read your forworded e-mail. Write me off list if you would like the particulars of the Earthlink forwording option.
