In over four years of using Jones/Comcast's cable modem service (I was, I believe, the first Mac beta tester for Jones in Prince William County VA), I've never experienced a single e-mail problem and I've never heard of anyone (in my area) having a problem, neither before they added @Home to the mix nor after. That's why I was thinking it's a problem local to the provider in your immediate area. BTW, what newsgroups should I be reading? - Eric. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
