I wasn't aware such a thing existed in the UK, and certainly isn't all that common around the world. A friend of mine was charged about £200 for 6MiB when living in Canada recently!

Yup - I got a new one this Saturday, and it does POP3, IMAP and SMTP, all with SSL as an option (it even validates the certificate!). Most impressed, I was, until I saw what Orange wanted to charge me for GPRS on my tariff :) -- Russell Howe [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
