Subject: [ecs] OT: How to Change ISP Address

I am switching ISPs, and need to change my e-mail address with this group. 
Can someone please tell me how to do this?
Thanks

Hi Ingo,
I meant to provide the requested info, but deleted the directory shortly
after getting Festival working (having forgotten about the problem).
All I can tell you is that it was a "normal" dir created when I unzipped
the Festival install package (not mount related).
I'll jump on it the next time I see such anomalies.
Thanks,
