Sandi, is your "favourite e-mail client" the pay dial up account? If so, if you want to keep it you will have to pay for it... I think! I use Gmail, but have had to go out and get a "pay" e-mail address because many mailorder firms will not accept free e-mail addies. My wireless internet connection doesn´t provide e addresses either...

I hope not because I really like Outlook Express. This brings up another question though. I just got a reply for the wireless tech as I had asked him how to set up an e-mail address. His reply was, "Unfortunately we are not a email provider so we would be unable to provide you with an email address, typically customer's who use this card go out and set up a free email account with an email provider such as: yahoomail, gmail, or hotmail." Surely there is a way I can continue to use my favorite e-mail client. Tell me, please, that I can!
