I understand - I can't either [I don't even have an "always on"
machine - mine is "usually on" :-) ]. I was hoping someone here would
be able to do it.

Actually, I don't like forums. The "googleness" just makes it
significantly worse. But - I was able to get it working as email, and
that's better, so far. When I start getting ads related to things I
discuss, though, I'll be quite pi**ed.
