eNetBot IIRC, is the one that I used in the past and I wasn't sure if they stopped it. If this is the one that I knew of, it accesses the mail via the web interface, and transposes it over to a POP interface for your mail client. Back when I last looked at it, it never worked. But that was because AOL's web interface was new, and they kept changing it. For a long while, the developers gave up and stopped updating their software to continue to access AOL. But now that AOL's web interface has settled down, it doesn't overly surprise me that someone has made such a front end again. So little surprise that a few threads ago, I specifically mentioned that on windows there were some of these very applications, and I figured at least one of them had been brought back to life. This isn't to say that eNetbot is in fact the one that I used, nor that if it is, that it is still using the web interface (from the sounds of their site, maybe not). The aol2pop software looks more like it might talk directly to AOL's mail servers... which I find surprising, simply because AOL would have the right to stop them, and I would think that they would try (a web mediator AOL may not be able to stop, because it has been ruled in the past that a web site can't dictate what web client, or manner, the site is accessed... and a web to pop interface would really just be a specialized web browser) Looks like I might have to download both of these later and see what they are doing. Maybe I can reverse enough of it to do the same thing on the Mac. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
