I got my freewwweb account working using CHAP. I only have this for backup for my flakey @home account and haven't used it much since I set it up. @home went out the other night and I tried it and it no longer accepts my login. @home came back on before I farted around with it too much so I'm not sure what changed. I got signed off the deb-devel mailing list because of bounces to my freewwweb mail account, and I can only pop home my mail one time out of three (failed password) so I think they are going through some problems. Too bad because most of the other free services don't support Linux -- you have to run Windows/Mac and put up with the advertising bars. Oh well. Perhaps soon they'll get the wrinkles out of broadband over power lines.
