thanks for the reply.

(blush) i had the wrong password for logging in....... it starts with
a captial P, not lower case.

now i can ping with abandon all over the net.

now i am back to work finding how to get my mail from the isp's 
mail server.  should i use elm or pine or...??  do they work
like Eudora and go thru a connection dialog with the mail server
every so often??

i re-configured my smail for network.  any other suggestions?

thanx again

dave
