(smile) given the random locations alta vista seems to spew at you even when you have spent quite a bit of time trimming its search tree with qualifiers, its debatable. I finally located a nice page listing all the RFCs related to internet protocols. Never got a reference to demon once. As for Demon's www site, I find it very hard to find anything from the front page. I guess it depends on the methods different individuals use to perform searches. Whats intuitive for one user is not for another (I find Mac's very un-intuitive - try getting the CD out of a CD rom drive on a Mac when the Mac thinks there isn't one in there). I will give this URL a look as well. Thank you. > >http://www.demon.net/connect/dial-up/services/pop3.html > >is the user's guide. There's a link to 'SDPS Technical Specification' at >the bottom.
