The plan is to dialup AOL to retrieve AOL mail, and then stay connected to use TCP/IP over the AOL connection to reach her POP e-mail server(s). >If she is using Mac OS 9.1 or less, get the revised AOL CCL's from >ftp://ftp.mythech.net "Connection refused" each time I tried.

I tried to encourage her not to use AOL when she got online again, but since she had an AOL account before, and is decidedly non-technical, we went with AOL her comfort level (the last cheap ISP I tried to set her up with went under). Emailer is actually the first step to getting her off AOL. Once DSL is available in her neighbourhood, it should be sufficiently speedy and cheap enough that there's no reason to keep AOL. > >Hope this helps.
