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 . . . Regards, Bill Bowen bowenb@best.com Daly City, CA
