Well, maybe and maybe not.  We choose to run Netscape as out patron browser,
and had to tweak things so that to only way to get Hotmail was to send them to
msn.com the have them go to the bottom of  the page and use the login there for
Hotmail.  Today I find that has changed ("they" must read out lists) so that
you can click an icon for Hotmail but NOT login.  This, ofcourse, with our
configuration of Fortres and Historian locks the machine up very neatly. (As it
did BEFORE we discovered the little "go to msn.com...."  trick.)  Ofcourse IF I
use IE patrons have no problem getting their Hotmail.
Grrrr......
