Static IP DSL (Was: Re: Where is rlz.ne.mediaone.net?)



Alright, so recently I've had a problem with TIAC. The modem and PPP and all
the internet stuff works fine, but I can't download any E-mail. I think it's
a popsite related issue, because I have more than one popsite, and it began
happening one by one. Like I say, I can connect just fine, and both
Nutscrape and KFM work great, but I have to go into Win-blows to get my
E-mail. funny thing is, they're the same popsites. Is it possible that a
popsite would not be able to download to Linux?
