: don't know. did you try looking at their website for this info?

Yea.  But first I called them voice.  Of course I got a receptionist.
When I asked her if Road Runner includes shell access, she replies
"Shell what!?".  I say, "Will I have disk space on your server?".
She replies, "Oh no. You have to have your own disk drive!".  I say,
"Could I speak to a technician?".  She blurts, "Justaminut!" and I
immediately hear the music.  So I spend 15 or 20 minutes doing dishes
and cleaning the kitchen before realizing they were playing the same
song again!  They didn't even break in occasionaly to tell me how
important my call was. :(

So _then_ I tried their website.  Spent another half-hour or so
reading all their promo, but no details of the nuts and bolts of
an account.  Then I e-mailed them.  All this early afternoon
yesterday but still no reply.

So thought I might get a response here faster.

You know, it seems like all companies of any size are like this
anymore, but it's especially sad when they are so-called
communications companies.  I mean, primitive tribes communicated
better with drums and smoke than the phone and cable giants of today.

: it's pretty slow in here these days... i wouldn't hold your breath
: waiting on a reply.

Yea, but I still think my odds are better here. :-)

: 
: good luck tho.

Thanks!
