Thank you for the suggestion, but gmail is not blocked, only gmail chat. I have found ways around blocked websites, but not blocked gmail chat. <div>On 11/20/06, Gerry Visel <<a href="mailto:gcvisel@gmail.com">gcvisel@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Chris, To access your gmail without the chat, there is a setting at the bottom of the page that says: "Gmail view: standard with chat | standard without chat | basic HTML Learn more" Choose Standard without chat, and at least you can still get your email.
