Thanks to all who had suggestions.

John, I went to this on my computer and it did not work, but when I went 
to it on her computer, it took me right to the directions!

Evidently, what I needed to use was pop.att.yahoo.com and 
smtp.att.yahoo.com.

So, now she can use Outlook Express directly without all the garbage and 
spam!  That will be a real improvement, since her line is quite slow, or 
at least it seems so to me!

I will suggest that she investigate DSL Lite.  I don't know if she can 
use it or not, but she should certainly try it.  ( I have never heard of 
it before.)  She may well be too far from a station to use it, but who 
knows!

Thanks, again,

Dean Kukral
