Who else out here is using FreeMail?  I read a review in the June 28th 
issue of PC Magazine  --and bought their �Parent� copy-- but I have not 
seen other reviews or ads. I am going to purchase their latest product, 
'Extended Family Routing,' which lets the free 'Child' copies communicate 
with each other through a central parent, but I do not know anyone who is 
using this latest program.  It is more expensive  ($500 vs. just $75 bucks

for the 'Parent') so I would appreciate hearing from anyone who is using
it.

I just saw a 'new and improved' article in the current (sep. 27th) issue
of PC Magazine, which talks about the Extended Family. But, again,
I would like to get some mail from someone using it. I have FreeMail
references, but ......

Our FreeMail 'Parent' has been working fantastic for us. It is a Windows 
E-mail system that uses modems and does not require any kind of network; 
it was by far the most affordable solution we found for being able to 
exchange files and important messages at will. Using it has cut our 
overnight FedEx bill from about  $300 a day to about $18 a day! It has all

of the features of our old-fashioned MHS/network system: site polling and 
automatic file transfers, and good encryption. It is certainly worth
looking 
at, and I hope someone will let me know what they think of the router. I 
have been giving out many child diskettes (each 'Parent' copy creates an 
unlimited number of its own 'children' which are self installing and 
configured to be able to directly dial the Parent), and have quite a 
network set up now -- here locally and across the country  (one of my 
programmers recently moved to Switzerland, and he has been sending and 
receiving files to and from New York with no problem).  If you have some 
experience with FreeMail, please leave a message for  me here, or e-mail
me 
through aol:  CarlZorts@aol.com
If you are interested in FreeMail, their voice number is (406) 586-4200
They also have an account with AOL:  FreeMail@aol.com, which I have never 
used (since I FreeMail them)   And, if anyone knows of similar Windows
E-mail

packages, let me know.
