Can anyone give us a simple way to use email on the road??? We have a
laptop, netscape and a local internet provider. Thanks

You might try JUNO. They claim to have 1000 different access numbers across
the country. They have a home page at www.juno.com . They are FREE but you
have commercials to put up with. Another way is to use AOL but they cost
about $20 per month. I think I am going to use JUNO when I travel.

Only problem with Juno is that the ads take up a lot of hard drive
space. Another alternative is ibm.net's $4.95 per month plan that
includes three hours of connect time a month - plenty for downloading
email while on the road. This would allow you to pull email off your
own POP server while on the road(unless it's behind a firewall),
something that neither AOL or Juno will allow. Usually ibm.net has a
local dial-up anywhere I travel, which is why I use them for business.
Also an 800 number, but I usually just use my phone card in the unusual
event that there's not a local dial-up.

Patrick:

As a result of you pointing out the Juno ads taking up hard drive space, I
looked at the Ad folder under the Juno folder. Decided to delete the whole
folder and see if Juno would still launch, which it did.

The beauty of doing so was I was not subjected to any ad's when trying to
download e-mail from Juno.

Beforehand, I was always subjected to two or three ad's in the process of
connecting to Juno. I like the cleaned up navigating now.

Juno has provisions for importing e-mail from another computer location in
the opening page. However, if a laptop is used "on the road", that option
shouldn't be necessary. Juno has an 800 number.

Paul,
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! on the Juno mail advice. Just did it in about 2
seconds, and no more junk windows when I checked my mail.

I use AOL only for flash mail... that is when you go and download your files
and messages, and then you write your responses, and you flash mail them back.
Total connect time is about 3 minutes. Because of that, I only sign up for
about 5 hours a month, enough time to get mail and send mail. Cost is
$4.95/month... that's why I keep AOL for flash mail and for getting things when
I am on the road. A cheap approach.. Then you can find a cheaper at home
internet provider.
