Hi slug,
On Wednesday, October 16, 2002, 12:16 PM, you mentioned about "ATT Broadband
connections problems":

Yes, that is the problem. There must be an answer, see below.

Might try Netscape, Eudora, or Opera mail. All of these provide for a
mail user, sending and receiving mail, *however* I do not know if they now
provide for you to POP (get) your mail directly off their server now via
using TB! (or any mail client). Yahoo for example at one time allowed
this, but now *charge* for it. If you go to the sites mentioned above, you
can find out.
