'telescum'. is this a telephone company which you send and receive over a 'land line'? or are you 'land line' send and satellite down linked? do you know of anyone else with same telco [telephone company]? ria, if kmail configs can not help you, you do need to get after your telco provider. wet lines can happen anywhere. check 'drop box' yourself. it is where telco service line junctions to line entering your home. easy cure if you have a leak there is to spray with silicon. better yet, use urethane. other wise, it is in cable junction at your drop or somewhere back to central office. if you are satellite down linked, noise is caused by rain blocking microwave signal and nothing to do but wait for clear weather. a few years back, a poster was having trouble with noise in land line when it rained and was sol because his telco was not bound by laws as they are here in usa. he had to restrict his internet usage to when he had clear days. -- tc,hago. g . in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
