    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... :)

    That makes sense.

    Yah I can relate. I think he's into other programming
    projects these days, but that's one of my projects for later on this week is to
    drop him a note and encourage him to log
    onto a board carrying this echo, including my friendly
    uplink Waldo's place <g>.
