Thanks for your suggestions. We are actually able to send and receive faxes
from our Cuba site without many problems. This is what leads me to believe
that our problem is related to modem set-up. The reason that I want e-mail
connectivity is that I want to receive progress transaction files that are
to be merged into a global database in London. We can access a national ISP
in Havana from our Havana office, but not from our remote project site, not
even via long distance connection. This may sound a bit odd, but that's the
way it is in Cuba...


Any other suggestions would be most welcome.
