Zovat, thanks for the sharing suggestion but been there, done that! Already have my "old" desktop PC connected to the BB via a wireless router while I access things from downstairs with the laptop. The problem's accessing things when I'm off somewhere else altogether - I'd need a very well collimated Pringles tube to access the Oxford connection from Derbyshire. :-)

Re. the "separate ntl dialup account (payg)" option - I know (I think!) this would allow me to access mail from my BB account via the POP3 server, but could I also send mail via that account? Or would that only be possible when actually logged in via BB?
TIA,
Ian

If all else fails, you should be able to send mail from the BB account via webmail - not the most elegant of front ends - but it works (well, most of the time

) and you should be able to do that with ANY dialup service provider.
As for sending from the laptop directly - let me know what Email client you use, and I'll see if I can get you an answer....
