I'm in guys!  Using PAN right now - even as I type.  I did order up a
second computer name and running it through a hub.  The power cycling
seems to be key to usage.   I also have KMail running, and I'm not that
thrilled with it.  Can anyone recommend a "good" mailer?  I forgot to
bring home my Mandrake 8.1 CD's from work to check out the RPM's for
other mailers....  Thanks
