Many people actually use the email program built into their browser, so that launching your browser is all you need to do initially. Then you can use your to see if you have email messages, read the latest news, get the sports scores, find out what your stocks are trading at, browse the Postalnet Pa Page channels, or search for something specific with your page's built-in search engine. Postalnet Pa works hard to eliminate busy signals, but they are still an occasional fact of life on the Internet. You get a busy signal if too many Postalnet Pa members are trying to connect to the Internet using the same phone number at the same time. This happens infrequently for Postalnet Pa members because we have more dial-up Internet access numbers than any other Internet service provider.
More numbers mean fewer busy signals.
Rather than staying connected while you take a break from your surfing, please log off and back on again. That way, busy signals may become a thing of the past. You will not be charged extra, no matter how long you stay online. Common courtesy, however, dictates that you not abuse that privilege and interfere with other Postalnet Pa members' ability to get online. So only remain connected as long as you are actively surfing the Net.
