In linux there are two apps , one kppp gets you logged on to your ISP the other is the browser/emailer. your question is how do I configure kppp. best thing really is to go back to windblows, but up it's dialer, click on all the settings you can find under setup there are a couple of dozen windows, use windblows screensave app to save and print off each window, stable them together and use them to help you figure out the settings for kppp. See how you get on.

I've installed the mswordview rpm from the mandrake 6.1 installation cd. What else needs to be done? Thanks, Try right-clicking on the attachment and selecting "save as" and giving it a file name. Then, open it with Star Office. Works here. I've got two different distros of Linux: RH 6 on my machine at work and Mandrake 6 at home. John

If they're attached to email, you will probably need to export them to disk first. John
