I have but one question: "Do you have, or, insist on having,
only one configuration for Miami, as well as YAM?" I use three
dialup ISP's. I have three separate Miami configurations (one
for each), and two separate E-Mail configurations (as one of my
ISP's only has Web-mail as the means to send and receive mes-
sages). Whenever I know I want to deal with one ISP, I must
load the appropriate configuration -- no big deal.
Just curious. Your choice of words made me wonder.
Julian.
