    OK, I'm just a tad confused........and not sure what you want to do......

    What I gather is that you wanna access your email from that library computer, email that you get in college or something.

    The best thing to do is telnet in (if the library hasn't a firewall or sumfink up).

    So, if your POP3 server is mail.student.ucd.ie (mine) then the DOS command is
    telnet mail.student.ucd.ie 110

    The commands are then <variable items in these brackets>:

    USER <username> - log in with username
    PASS <password> - duh
    LIST - list the contents of your 'inbox', numbered with their size, in octets beside each one.
    RETR <i> - Display message number <i>
    DELE <i> - Delete message number <i>

    Of course, if you want to do this on a regular basis, some web-based mail places will take your mail from the POP3 server for you, so you get all your mail in the one place.

    If this isn't what you're looking for, I've just wasted a big post :)

    no seamus.. im sorry i didnt explain properly what i wanted to do..

    a friend of mine has a site..
    and on this site he has links to d/l pics of us..
    but the pc here in the liabrary has web marshal installed.. it wont let me d/l, view links, or open pages that have certain words on it like "f uck" "sh1t" etc.

    i just wondered was there some sort of address code i could type in to the url slot and it would send them to my inbox.. e.g.
    http://www.site.com/page/link to the pic.jpg MAILTO addy@something.com.

    or is it even possable..?
    i know its a bit far fetched..
    thanks
    Kas.

    It [wa|i]s possible to browse the web by email[1], I did it back in 1996 once when I was messing round with D'Intarweb for the 1st time. I don't know if the services are still running, do a google for them.

    Al.

    1. I *think* they had the service available for people who had no browser s/w available on their site back in the old days (94 and before).

    IOL used to have a service where you could send a link somewhere and it would download a large file to your email. You still had to download the file but because it was in the IOL server you were getting the fastest speed possible.

    It's been so long I can't remember what the process is (if IOL did it, or there is an external option and how).

    java.sun.com/books/tutorial (that's the best location for beginners, that demand free learning).

    Not difficult at all. When you are doing DB work with Java it doesn't matter what DB implementation you use. You will be using JDBC which can connect your Java app to an Oracle DB (for example), and away you go. You will just employ a JDBC driver for your oracle DB, and after that your code is completely abstract to the DB implementation you are using.

    http://www.fas-netcollege.com/ (or .ie I forget).

    The courses are free under certain conditions but you have to pay for any exam you plan to take. I know at least one person who said the course was OK. He got his J2 certification from it.
