I do connect directly to my ISP.  I have even tried different numbers to dial 
into and get the same error.  How would I get the IP address of the mail 
server though?  I know how to get mine.  I assume ifconfig would tell me.

Also, keep in mind that Kmail works at least at the moment anyway.

It does come up and ask for a password when I connect the first time.  I tell 
it to store the password so I don't have to type it in each time.  

Those would be a good start though.  This is getting weird.

Thanks and let me know on the IP address.
