Yes, but that is beside the point :) IMHO, the best solution is to
use Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.1 w/ dialer and mail. It is freely
available at their website and will do nicely...
I don't know about problems with home.netscape.com except for that
Java error they had (may be gone) but that's not a trumpet issue anyway. It
is important to have the mtu NOT be 1500. Just about anything less will
work. Some swear 1024, some 1006, some 898, etc, etc. Test 'em all and see
what you like, but the MS dialer is "better".
