I just checked with my inhouse MSN guru (my daughter) who is using V5. She says that she can accept files from others but is unable to send them files. When she tries she gets a service not available message. She thought it was something I had done. Frankly, I wish it were the other way around...can send but not accept. She's never tried to use voice. -- Gerry "The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
