Which package do I need for that telnet? I see a few packages with that name. I am connected through a VPN but Seamonkey works fine. I can check and send email there, hence this thread. I figure I got something set up wrong after a Gmail change. Sort of stupid to make something so secure you can't use it. It's like buying a computer and saying the only way to secure it is to keep it turned off. :/ Dale :-) :-)
