You can create an entry level web hosting account at pair.com for (I think) $6.95/month; less if you pay quarterly or annually) and a modest setup fee. This gives you a number of email addresses which can either be redirected somewhere else, or accessed using POP3 or IMAP or a webmail interface. Full disclosure: I have created a number of websites for various clients and almost all of them are hosted by pair.com. >4.

See above. If you host at pair (or one of a multitude of other hosting services), your VZ connection doesn't have anything to do with your email/website other than being part of the transport mechanism. -- Julian Thomas: jt@jt-mj.net http://jt-mj.net In the beautiful Finger Lakes Wine Country of New York State! -- -- It is interesting to note that before the advent of Microsoft Windows, `GPF' was better known for its usage in plumbing: Gallons Per Flush =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <os2-wireless_users@2rosenthals.com>.
