My works account comes through a firewall on another site, then over a more 
secure network to the desk, so has the advantage of being always on and having 
all working files to hand for sending or downloading - including posting to the 
reflector.   But for obvious reasons I don't want messages from the reflector 
popping up all the time on this one; tried once and it got very annoying.  The 
various security measures in place make it impossible to access my home account 
from this computer - and quite rightly so.
(Official homeworkers, by the way, have special dial up accounts and secure 
links provided)  Internet access is available but very restricted in its scope 
- no downloads of any description are possible, and even .PDF files can give 
problems sometimes, many sites are blocked for some obscure reason - and some 
dubious ones aren't ;-).

This g4jnt account is my home one, but also accessed from another computer at 
work where I have a dial up modem, the other side of the office. Full Internet 
access is the 'official' justification for having this route.   So it is easy 
enough to download and even post from it, BUT being a quarantined machine does 
not have any other software or network connections on it.  The only way of 
transporting data between the two machines is floppy disc or, ironically 
enough, EMail.   For the sake of completeness I usually copy messages to the 
other account.

So that's the story, as far as my computer access is concerned, for those 
querying the reasons for posting from a non subscriber.

AND I'd like to get rich quick too, anything to stop  wasting 8 hours a day, 
five days a week just to earn the money to enjoy myself.

Andy  G4JNT

Was...past tense?  I take your meaning to be, then, that you were richer
before responding to the previous missive from Nigeria?  ;-)

I wonder whether it would be practical for those who wish to post messages to
the list from work, as well as to receive them at home, to access their home
accounts by Web-based email?  Over here, many ISPs now offer that service.
Even living in the hinterlands as I do, I can check mail both at my AOL
accounts and on my "real" ISP from any Web browser and Internet connection
while on a break at work, or wherever I may be.  Have browser, will read
mail...so to speak.

Might that also be a workable solution in the UK and on the continent?  Or do
employers there restrict their employees' Web access more tightly than is
done here?
