Larry, 

  I usderstand all the above, and I'm also pretty happy with the
performance of the new email system, at least how it interfaces with
Pegasus. The Control Panel is kinda handy too: played with that for
about a half hour last night and even tried out the web mail. This
transistion is going smooth SO FAR.

  One question though: how long will the <username>@best.com email
address and forward to <username>@username.best.vwh.net be in effect?
Should I start now to transition over to the
<username>@username.best.vwh.net address?

  Now that I've got email working, next fun thing is migrating dialup
and news. I'm not looking forward to this . . .
