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!
Jann
