Why I posted in the first place. History: I joined plaxo before I knew what linux or ldap were. Ran their toolbar in outlook-express but found it hung up my network access on bootup so had to take it off. Now I only use plaxo as an offline backup of my addressbook. It reads/writes netscape's format. After going over to Linux, I started bugging them about ldap, to no avail. Plaxo has freebee and paid versions. I will not pay for such things. Another nice service that started out free and now charges a reasonable rate for a lot of offline backup space is livedrive. They have a windows interface that looks like another disk drive, hence their name. I have been bugging them to give simple (secured) ftp access. There is already a plasmoid around to use that (or I would roll my own--use rsync to sync directories maybe. Their website javascript was problematic when I tried it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
