Oh, I can believe it. Seems like when I'm looking for an important
message, at least half the time, something at CoreComm will take a dump,
and I'll get my mail at least delayed for a while. Been a few months
since they've lost anything, though, TTBOMK, so I really can't complain.

My ISP thinks that you can't get there from here. About half the
technical help there are idiots, but even they have some interesting
suggestions at times. But, they're pretty much OS-independent. They
run on UNIX boxes, AFAIK, and their tech support page actually has
procedures on how to set up under the Windows versions, OS/2 (Warp 4.0,
probably), and RedHat Linux 5.2, all gooey. Might even have procedures
for the Mac, too, but I can't say for sure. But, they list their DNS
addresses, etc., so it's easy enough to set up any OS, if you know what
you're doing. As for glowing reports, I haven't seen a whole lot to
cause me to get all gushy, but I am getting my $100/year's worth.
