I do not recall if I was using the independant mail server then that I am
now. You may be correct. I did get skype running, poorly, on a lappy
without enough iron in its britches, from a motel room 600 miles north
about 7 years ago. Then I said screw it and bought a cell phone since I
was in Iron Mountain MI, and it was LD to call more than about 4 miles
away.
