We have not yet looked into having a business class public isp address, I told 
my it guy to keep it simple and cheap so he has not hit on this plan yet--I 
will pass it on and we may have to do something like it.

I did try having multiple identies in kmail, but infact the server kicked back 
my emails.  I couldnt figure out how to have different user names and 
passwords and get them to go through in the right order.  (still working on 
that though)

My big problem that I see with using the isp is that the isp needs to be 
hosting the web domain.  Currently that is not the case, I have one dsl 
provider, another isp and another domain host.  (bad plan, right?)

I am using mandrake 9.1 , kmail 1.5, sendmail is used to handle all of our 
email in the office.

>From the posts, it seems as though I need to move to a single source for 

internet access and work from there????  

I am unfamiliar with setting up my own public ip address, is this a difficult 
undertaking?  expensive?  

Thanks to all for your assistance.
