3/3 What is the cheapest option for internet access for somebod my parents who just need to do some email a couple of hours a week and nominal amounts of web browsing? Some kind of dialup service? They have a mac, in case that makes a difference, and live in the South Bay. Fast access at $30-$50/mo, not worth it for them, especially since they travel for months at a time. \_ Jyno has $9.95/mo dialup, but for just $3/mo more you can get a fractional DSL line from http://Sonic.net. Actually, I see these same prices from dslextreme, my current DSL provider, though to get that dial-up price, you have to buy a whole year. |

Our imap servers, that run for webmail, maxed out the total number of processes allowed for imap which caused webmail to stop functioning.
