I got my freewwweb account working using CHAP. I only have this
for backup for my flakey @home account and haven't used it much
since I set it up. @home went out the other night and I tried
it and it no longer accepts my login. @home came back on before
I farted around with it too much so I'm not sure what changed.
I got signed off the deb-devel mailing list because of bounces
to my freewwweb mail account, and I can only pop home my mail
one time out of three (failed password) so I think they are
going through some problems.
Too bad because most of the other free services don't support
Linux -- you have to run Windows/Mac and put up with the
advertising bars. Oh well. Perhaps soon they'll get the
wrinkles out of broadband over power lines.
