  Hi Larry,

  Sprint does (or did) support Win 3.1. I used them for a while but
dropped them due *VERY* poor service. I think I still have their W 3.1
installation disk. You're right about Phil's E-mail showing that it comes
from Sprint, I looked at it too. In addition, Phil and I have E-mailed
privately a number of times with no problems and I have Earthlink blocked.

  For you guys that are worried because you use Earthlink or Hotamil all I
can say is to raise hell with them for permitting SPAMMING or else change
your ISP.

   I'm in Orlando Florida. There's no significant damage here. LOTs of
rain though.

   Joe
