Re: NTL Cable Modem

["Campbell" <c.macd@xxxxxxx>]

I use BTinternet at present and download my virgin emails from this
account.
The Freenentname account which I have (for free domain name) does not
permit
pop3 access and I must dial it specifically. If I connect to Freenentname I
can get my Virgin mail, my btinternet mail (this was also true before
subscribing) and of course my freenetname account. I have st up the
freenetname account to redirect to my btinternet address, therefore the
webpage does bnot require servicing and I access it once per week just to
check email. It is useful to have a different provider just in case one is
down
