-- Not really, It requires a new e-mail adress for aboard ship for one. Secondly it requires that the main machine be online 24/24 when the whole family is aboard for a longer period of time (we don't like it, because of the fire risk) and/or a fair amount of discipline by wife&kids when they're at home to not shutdown or at least boot the machine on a daily basis to collect the mail and or for me to connect. -- Harm Bathoorn.
