Hello Aaron,
Cameron Nikitiuk asked where I live and I told him in Ramsay district near the bus barns, Scotchman's hill, and the MacDonald Bridge. If he can give me a ride to SAIT he will call me back on the telephone. If he can not give me a ride, he will send me an email saying he can not easily reach me. If I can not get to SAIT with Cameron's help, I can give you an account on my machine so that you can help me. But I would rather contact you in person at the meeting to set that up. Then I know that it really is you with whom I am setting up the account. I encounter the fail to connect message when I try to receive mail. Everything matches what I have in my linux netscape as I copied it from my linux netscape settings. And I know the settings work in linux netscape because that is what I am using to reply to your email. If Cameron can help me bring my computer to the meeting, you could check everything out except what involves connecting to the net via the adsl modem through my nephew's server computer. But perhaps it would be better for me to wait for my brother to come to my house from British Columbia, since he was the one who installed mandrake linux and he could coach me through the process and is both an expert in linux and patient enough to coach me through the process. But he will probably be a month or a month and a half coming to Calgary. In any case, it would be great to get kmail working before my brother comes to show him how much I learned about linux before he comes from the Calgary Linux Users Group. My brother already has an account on my machine. regards, Michael Walters ==================================================================================== "Aaron J.
