I assume you already tried doing username@domain@pop.server and that
failed (it actually works on some clients, any that parse from the back
to the front it will work on).
The other thing to try is, many of the ISPs that require this kind of
setup (where the username is really username@domain) will accept an
alternate character in place of the @ sign. Commonly it is % but has also
been known to work with / or . or ? or any number of other symbols. Try
replacing the first @ (the one on the username pair) with some other
symbol and see if it accepts it.

I got some NOS from a local computer dealer for nothing, but I'm hanging
on to them for dear life. You might try checking some of the smaller
office supply outfits and/or Goodwill/Salvaation Army stores. These are
turning into very rare items now.

Paul,
Thanks for your insights. I found some useful background info here:
http://keemiarelva.tehas.ee/asjad/telecomi%20plaat/Kompuuterelektroonika/
These docs are in English, written (or at least compiled) in the early 80's.
I'd be curious if anyone knows the original source for them. In any case,
see the top of page 9-11 in the file 14091_ch9.pdf.
It says "In addition to lateral parity, many units also use a longitudinal
parity check." That seems to imply that some didn't.

Hi Guys,
I know this is a OT, but I could really use some help, and I figure
this group is the most likely to be using a setup similar to mine...
My ISP has just "upgraded" their email server to be completely incompatible
with my client - basically the POP server cannot not be determined from
the POP account name anymore, and since my ancient client "figures out"
the server from the account name, it cannot connect.
Can anyone recommend a decent/simple email program that runs under either
DOS or Window3 (NOT win32!!!) that has the ability to let you specify a
incoming mail server separate from the POP account?
Until I find something, I can only access this list (and all other email)
via a web based reader (very slow on dial-up and inpossible to do a decent
reply).
Please help!
Regards,
Dave

Apologies if someone's mentioned this one before. Quite possibly the
coolest gadget I've seen in a long time, though:

That sounds like an old NCR WaveLan card. The original was before the 802.11
standards. It operated in the 900MHz ISM band and was basicaly 2 Megabit wireless
network card, compatable only with others like it. NCR sold the product line to Lucent
at about the time the standards were adopted, as I recall.
Hope this helps,

Hi Roger,
Are you talking about "Eudora Pro 3"? - if so, I have a legit copy, but I
didn't try it yet because the manual shows just a "POP3 account" field in
the host setup - I need a separate "incoming mail host" field, and the
POP3 username must be able to contain am "@xxx.yyy" which is DIFFERENT
>from the configured host (it gets sent as part of the login string
apparently).
Do you know if Eudora3 actually supports such a misconfigured server
setup?

This one should do it:
http://www.eudora.com/email/archive/pro_email3/
If not, try here:
http://www.pmail.com/overviews/ovw_winpmail.htm
(you'll have to search thru all the 32-bit shiznit to get to the 16-bit
schtuff -- scroll down near the bottom...)
They still have a DOS version, as well.
Hope this helps,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger

A "guy" gave me an Altos 586 computer - no terminals.
I don't think I want it, do you?
It is a multi-user Xenix box(?) with an internal
10Meg(?) hard drive.
It powers-up and spins-up, but I didn't hook-up a
terminal to see if words come out.
It is very heavy at 35 pounds.
Currently near Santa Ana, CA.
Steve.
