Tessa: Your email program is, in fact, talking to your ISP. However, it's doing it directly over the Internet just as it is done at home. There's no dial-up connection involved. If you think a minute, this should be obvious as you don't have a modem hooked to your BSP. So you won't incur LD charges.
