Hi
Thanks for the posts. After failing to telnet to my ISP
port 110, they blamed the DSL provider. The DSL provider
denied this, but then told me to reboot the router and
suddenly I can telnet - and I presume all will be OK. ISP
was rather scathing about DSL provider when i told them
(as they had other calls with same issue.)
