It seems that is where having mail forwarded to a paid, web-based 
account (with pop3 and/or IMAP access), comes in really handy. It's 
easy to make a case for a smaller, local ISP to have restrictions 
regarding 'out of block' (or whatever it's called) access. Anybody 
looked at their firewall's log re: port scanning, lately? ISPs and 
their policies come and go, yet, fortunately or not, there'll 
probably always be a Yahoo. <laughs> Seriously, for 10 bucks a year 
to have a truly useful web-based app, not a bad deal.
