We eventually switched to GMail to keep contact with the folks in Belgium. POP3 configuration has recently become a nightmare. Our own Linux/T-bird setup usually recovers following "no server response" episodes, but several Windows users I know are now forced to use Comcast's webmail interface because no matter how the client is set up, the POP server stops responding mid handshake.

(Amidst whatever $$ or other chaos has been unleashed, I phone the suckers.) Heh, their latest ad-blitz seen on PBS, after the xfinity cha. cha. is: the claimed hiring (over n-years, in tiny print) of ex-military folk, the implication being A) We'll be here forever/ and we're patriotic as all get-out. B) Guess we're supposed to believe it's because of new business/not re perennial sloppy service, heretofore. But who's believing either one (?) PS: I quite recall your kindness in sending along a "Full 150 MHz!" upgrade CPU for some long-forgotten box of a friend. "You mean this was sent from Belgium??" saith She. :-) Edited by Ashton May 1, 2017, 10:41:21 PM EDT Expand All History
