Ok, so, the problem that Malcolm is really describing with his Internet saga is that he is unable to send email. There are two ways of resolving that, but I need to provide a little background first.

As I said, there are two ways of resolving that:

  1. Find an email server that provides another way of authenticating you.
  2. Bring your own email server along.


See http://www.reitter-it-media.de/software/osxpostfix.html. I was at a conference recently with wireless access, so I could receive email, but couldn't send. This has been an ongoing problem... During the boring talks I located this article and was able to set up my laptop as an smtp server. Even with my 10 years forgotten unix skills. However, if you know no unix, beware.
