<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks Denis:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, I have Verizon DSL in one house, but there is
no PPPoE authentication SW on any PC of the network.
Actually, the house has a DLink 614+ router with PPPoE dynamic
enabled, along with ID and password entered. I believe the ID and password
in the router are to allow the DSL modem to connect to the DSL
account.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think the issue is that regardless of the
email software you use (Outlook Express, Outlook, etc), for Verizon DSL, one has
to configure the email software to authenticate the smtp server
with your ID and password for any outgoing mail. I haven't been able
to do any other way (i.e. use the ID and password in the router). One can
use a different smtp and POP3 server from a different ISP (like Direcway), but
again, the outgoing email is rejected by Verizon unless authentication is
checked and account ID and password entered. So, therefore, any emails
from Web-LinkII always fail since it is not associataed with any outgoing
authentication. At another house with Direcway, the emails from Web-LinkII
work fine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, Denis, have you been successful with outgoing
emails with Web-LinkII with the new FIOS service?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, has anyone seen failures of rules entered in
Web-LinkII such that the rule occurs in the OmniII or Omni, but Web-LinkII
sometimes misses it, and thus, the rule isn't evoked? This occurs in an
application where the server computer is connected to the Omni via an RS-232
port.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Doug, <BR>I am assuming you have DSL. and they loaded the PPPoE
authentication SW on the PC and the use an Ethernet cable between the PC and the
DSL modem.<BR>I have the new FIOS service, and instead of loading any software
on any of the PCs, they provided a DLINK 604 router with the PPPoE enabled and
we put the account and password in the router. <BR><BR>What you may be
able to do is use a cheap router that supports PPPoE, and MAC address cloning
(Most linksys routers support) and give the router your account info. If it does
not connect, use the Ethernet address clone feature and give the router you MAC
address from your PC to use on the WAN side of the connection. <BR><BR>On my
router the PPPoE selected is for DSL links, and the style of PPPoE is
dynamic.<BR><BR>Regards Denis<BR><BR>Doug Ringler wrote:

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey Everyone:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone found out how to get around an ISP
that requires outgoing authentication for Web-Link II to send emails upon a
given program line? Or alternatively, do we know when HAI will
reconfigure Web-Link II to accept password and ID authentication for outgoing
mail for specific ISPs? Verizon and others will not allow outgoing mail
without authentication for obvious spam-related reasons. On the other
hand, many ISPs will allow this.</FONT></DIV>
