Hi All!

Well, I have a couple of ideas on free Web-based email services.  The one I
'm using now, www.email.com, which is powered by www.mail.com, is accessible
on my 486DX4, using a 33.6 kbps modem...no problems at all.  However, if I
try to login to email.com from the PC I use at work, I can't manage to get
in...Arachne just reloads the sign in page.  Possibly something to do with
amount of RAM available (24 meg on my 486, compared to 8 meg on P75 at work)
or modem speed (my 33.6 compared to 19.2 at work, usually connects at 14.4).

The other partially usable web-based email in Arachne, that I use anyhow, is
www.inbox.excite.com.  Note---to use all the "features" of Excite's mail,
you need JavaScript...but, in Arachne I can read and delete any email, I
just can't post, reply or empty the trash, hehehe!

Some users have had luck with www.mail.yahoo.com in Arachne, but I have
never been able to manage a succesful login, on either machine...I can with
Lynx 386 DOS version 2.8.X however.  Probably something idiotic that I'm
doing!

Anyhow, there's my experience with web-based email using Arachne, from
versions 1.48 through 1.66...hehe!

C U L8R!
