I use a dial-up connection at work for troubleshooting purposes and occasionally just to bypass the company's filters. Gmail actually responds very nicely over dial-up. If you don't have javascript enabled, the interface is even simpler and loads quicker. You can also specify the number of threads to display per page. However, POP download is available. You can use any mail reader you want. It wouldn't hurt to just try it out and see if it's to your liking. Pretty much anyone with a gmail account should be able to send you an invite. Lemme know if Frank flakes out. <g> -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com Shoot more film! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
