about that also... But all of my operations on the net, including
telnet and webbrowsing and email from my ISP, are happening in pure
DOS... so what I've got could have some use for you.... And much
of it has been written by my wizard, or debuggered by him, so that I
can do what I do and stay in DOS, no windows or rodents... ;)
I"m curious if he thinks any of his mods to mail transfer
stuff would play nice with their at&T yahoo mail stuff.
I'm pretty sure they should. He tends to write things in such a way
that they will "play nice" with as wide a venue as possible... and we
are using them successfully both with bluefrog.com (our dial-up ISP, now
a backup, but where my mail still comes thru) and with frontiernet.net
which is our DSL ISP, from our phone company. The latter isn't just
local, I know that at least one friend of mine, located in Central Pennsylvania, has a frontiernet email address.
I"m working on Dave Colston to update nettamer, especially since nettamer.net, his domain, etc. are bellsouth hosted. HE
said the other day when we spoke that except for some folks
in the third world he had few folks interested in his
products anymore. I told him he ought to drop in at WAldo's or
elsewhere and check out this echo, he might be surprised <g>. I"m
going to renew the invitation methinks. So far the old default
bellsouth mail server has been behaving itself, but ...
Every time some question arises here, I'm always a little surprised to
see how many other die-hard DOS users show up... ;) And not third
worlders, either... ;) And yeah, you'd think he'd have a little vested interest to keep it working for bellsouth DOS users... :)
