Ours will not send if we don't use their POP3 info. I have a friend who works tech support (one of the main call centers is here in Tampa), and have been told it's a company-wide policy after the GTE switch, with no known work-around other than using web-based mail.

Fast fast fast, too. And no branded e-mail. I suspect if you hound them they will give you access without requiring a one year contract. Best of luck with whatever you do. I know how horrible it is to go back to dail-up (and I suspect that is what the broadband providers count on!)

Having all of my e-mails branded with their incoming POP3 server information (and having to override it in the reply-to field for my 'vanity' addresses to even be used) is one of the biggest pains in the [bleep!] I've ever encountered! But until just recently...it's the only high-speed access offered in our area. And now that Road Runner is filtering in and we're on DirecTV, well, who knows. Hope you're back up and connected soon!

I know one of firsts was the Brown Lofts.. They had prewired all the lofts so they could provide a ISP for the tenants, and I think a few of the bigger apt complex property owners have also started to dabble in providing it.. /d Even Des Moines, IA has some of those around now..

I have both a 56k dialup and the broadband connect ..but without broadband life would suck... Hopefully, something will change in the next few days.. ? Good luck!

I run cable here, my neighbour has DSL, the guy above me has DSL, and the landlord has cable... And although the only ISP there is for DSL here is the phone company, me and the landlord have different ISP's for our cable... *Shrugs* But I do sympathize with your lack of baud. I know all too well how frustrating it can be.
