I mean, you can connect with emailer to an Earthlink (or any POP3) account while connected with the AOL client, the ability to connect to a 2nd AOL account is along the same lines (AOL-over-IP instead of POP3, obviously).
The only reason you can't connect to the same account twice is an AOL limitation, not an Emailer one. They only want one account connected at any given time, and Emailer counts as a second connection on that account. Obviously it's a little more complicated than that, since they also don't want any "child" accounts of the master account connected simultaneously either. But it's still AOL limiting that. My employer has a corporate dial plan. Our systems in the field make internet connections through their POPs. We may have a few hundred machines connected at any given moment talking to our servers. Multiple logins through the same name is OK with that ISP because they bill by the minute on each connection. That's the price if you want this functionality. If you don't need it, or don't want to pay, then a flat-rate system makes sense - but they're going to have restrictions, otherwise that system can become unprofitable, and quick. -- Mike O'Connell [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway." -- Crow T.
