In Outlook and Outlook Express you can have mulitple accounts at multiple ISP's with differing pop3 addresses and unless your ISP has blocked access to the other ISP pop3 server, then you can get any & all of your e-mail from 1 dial up connection. So I reckon the mail would still get through.

What about emails - I suspect that they would cease to transmit and receive - no connection found to the pop3 server etc?

I thought they were just 0900 numbers, just being dialed by a modem?

You get the "you have been disconnected bubble,then the dialing such and such number",web pages cant be refreshed of course,the signs are pretty obvious that something dodgy is goin on.

I activated the dialer in the name of research,i let it connect then i shut her all down and removed it all,telecom charged me 8 bucks for doing so,and the nice young girl on the line told me that people like me who surf for porn had no right to dispute anything.......damn near crushed the telephone with my teeth.
