   Hi there,

   You should be able to set up the BinkD mailer there in Iowa to get and send    
   echomail and netmail - the bandwidth is incredibly low for messages, so it    
   shouldn't cause a problem.  As far as using a remote server, sure you can do    
   that but it's probably going to cost you some.  Also, if you still have a   
   modem    
   around, you can dial up or have mail delivered to you from a number of   
   systems,    
   mine included.  I send a bunch of modem feeds mail/files since I've already   
   got    
   a dialing plan in use that enables free calls all over the U.S.   
      
   If you'd like to get a fidonet node number just go to this link, and fill out    
   the application http://www.filegate.net/zone1/   
      
   The link for the application is on that main page.. there are help files for a    
   number of internet mailers in the links section on the right side of the page.   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
