Hey! Just a note from the KDE Mail Client to state that Earthlink has finally bowed to the power of my Linux!! :) For anyone else looking for info for future reference, the settings were basic. I put in the 3 DNS addresses, used PAP to connect, and the one thing that has been a thorn in my side` was a simple fix that I owe all thanks and gratitude to the mailing list for (I'm sooo sorry I deleted the email before getting the author of the letter).... REMOVE CHECKMARK NEXT TO THE IP ASSIGNED BY HOST (or something close to that)! Thanks all! I can finally ask some questions on IRC now without having to shut down my computer and reboot to the Linux harddrive! :) -james
