I'm trying to help my neighbour who has registered a domain with
an ISP that will also host his website and mail collection (hope
I've got this correct).

Unfortunately, the ISP doesn't support dialup accounts nor the
sending of mail.. ie: he can connect across to their mail servers to
download mail sent to this domain, but it isn't interested in
sending any of his mails.

The fix I proposed was to set up a freeserve dialup account so that
he can connect up and use the FS SMTP server to send mail out,
plus surf. Once on FS, he can then connect across to retrieve his
mail. Unfortunately, this went nipples uppermost when I couldn't
connect to FS using his machine (mine connects ok, but there's
something odd with the negotiation between his modem and FS'
modem pools)

So, the question: anyone know of a method in which there is a
free dialup to the internet which supports the sending of mail?
