You are not wrong. I have never used the Earthlink software (Total Access...), but have used
Spamminator since its inception. I also use the Webmail when I am out of town. In fact, there
are procedures on the web site for connecting to the internet without using Earthlink software for
all the Win OSs

: Rhonda....
:
: I could be wrong, however I think that Earthlinks "Spamanater" works even if
: you don't use their software..... Several years ago I switched from a small
: town ISP to Earthlink and the Earthlink Rep gave me an 800 number to
: call.... She told me to call that number after an hour or so..... I called
: that evening and Earthlink's techinal support walked me thru a step by step
: proceedure as to what settings to change [it took 3 phone calls to get
: everything set up just like I had had it with my old ISP]...... Approx a
: week later Earthlink's CD arrived in the mail..... I didnot install it
: since everything was working just like I wanted...... And since I was
: running on borrowed time with my old Windows 95 computer.... why fix
: something that wasn't broken......
:
: The bottom line..... I usually only received about 1 spam a month.. if that
: often... I think that the spam is controled back at Earthlinks Central
: Office..... and that the CD that they want you to buy [upgrade from time to
: time] is a gimick and that by using their CD.... It is controling you rather
: then you controlling it.......
:
: After I got my new computer, almost 2 years ago, Earthlink made me install
: their CD..... That was on a Friday evening..... By Monday, noon, I was back
: in my computer repairman/salesman making arrangements for him to take
: Earthlinks program off my computer on Thursday.... Using their program was
: 6 days of hell!!!
