In a typical day, I use from three to five different computers to access my mail.

I wouldn't think of ssh'ing into my server to read my mail. I happen to have that privilege as a server software maintainer, but most users can not. I especially would not think of ssh'ing into a server to read mail via CDPD. Shudder. Yet, with a good IMAP client such as Pine, I have a difficult time telling that I'm using CDPD instead of an 802.11b wireless, unless the message is large. Since I pay a flat rate for CDPD, I'll use it instead of 802.11b when travelling if the local access point charges for 802.11b. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
