I noticed someone posted that they had no problem getting email through, I thought this odd after something my father told me.
My dad is in a program whose focus is to teach Chinese students English via (email) correspondance course. The course is sponsored by a Christian organization.
The problem my dad was having is that he was able to receive the emails from the students, but the students informed him that they were not able to receive his emails. My dad asked the organization if they had any ideas what was going on and they were baffled. Finally through a series of trial and error my dad found out that if you did not fill in the subject line, the message made it through.
Again I'm less certain about this after reading the other post about email. Maybe my dad's address has made it into the "Western Devil" blacklist;)
if you only want to use the BBA to play games, you should be able to figure out a way to make the DC dial into the computer, and then use the computers (broadband/LAN) access to play the games online. It won't be 'broadband' speeds but in reality DC games are optimized for 56k. I've played several DC games online and have never experienced any lag. I was also connecting over a 26.4 baud rate;)
