You'll probably get this advice in buckets, but, here goes: Dump AOL. Our nonprofit has had TERRIFIC results and support from one of our list member's ISP; JMUG CONNECT. Sam is always helpful and knows his stuff. $15.00 a month for national dialup. >http://www.jmug-connect.net/<. Sam rocks! We had a similar issue with a recipient's 'book who put AOL on it. Ended up simpler to dump AOL and go with a different provider. raino
