So - at last I meet THAT Jon! Your Southdown info on how to configure ES/SBS for Demon dial-up is one of my most quoted sources of reference. Now, how do you feel about doing one for SBS2000 (i.e. Exchange Server 2000) :-) I only visited here tonight because I just received the SBS 2000 Beta pack, and everything works - except Demon mail send/receive :-( If you ever revise your helpnotes, put me on the notification list!!! Thanks!
