-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DHSinclair Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2007 4:14 PM To: The Hardware List Subject: [H] research questions OK Tim, Believe the router is a "gateway" router. Maybe not. How would I know? From my LAN's perspective, I am treating it as my "gateway." All my clients have the router's IP addy as their "gateway" on the tcp/ip tab. In any case, I now have the IP addys I think I need. Some make sense, some do not. Q1: I use Eudora. BellSouth seems to be dead to Eudora. A faq lists these "email clients": Netscape 4.0, 4.5 to 4.77, 6 or 7 Outlook Express Outlook 97/98/2K/2K2 Hmm......... But, later on (more faqs) I find a setup procedure for Mozilla Thunderbird. So, all you TBird users, please advise. I do like/own Eudora (v5.1.1) and would like to continue unless it really is dead. Current plan is to use the Mozy setup once the channel goes hot and see what happens. Q2: Seems the Bellsouth blocks/filters port 25. Believe this is PoPmail port. Can I switch Eudora to IMAP and truck on with Bellsouth? Q3: Bellsouth uses the same server (mail.bellsouth.net) for both inbound and outbound mail. Is this normal? I do know that they seem to have extensive spam, junk, etc, filtering. Perhaps this is a good thing..... :) So I check out the "news" server for Bellsouth and find that it is: (should I choose to do Opera or Agent!) nxdomain.guide.opendns.com 208.69.32.130 and the server is in San Francisco, CA. Q4: What's up with this? Are the "news" channels still as polluted as they were in 1999? So far, so good. Believe my due diligence is as complete as possible. For now. I'm off to check out Mozilla TBird...... Please accept my thanks to all who helped with replies and tips. Much appreciated. Now I just have to get hold of JE to change an addy and keep List mail flowing! Best, Duncan Netscape At 14:59 10/11/2007 -0400, you wrote: >If you use a gateway router you only need one address.
