[TowerTalk] Attn all comcast subscribers

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

KA9FOX at QTH.COM also offers an e-mail only option for $12.00 
per year.  POP3/SMTP or IMAP e-mail an alternate port that is 
not blocked by normal ISPs, 200 M storage and five e-mail 
accounts.  

You may need to register your own domain (e.g., W4TV.NET) - I 
don't know if Scott maintains a "general purpose" domain - but 
domains in .com, .net, .org, or .us are $9.95 per year.  For 
those in the UK, .co.uk and .org.uk domains are also available 
at the same price.
