New MessageCheapest place to buy MailStation (modified 0 times) Dr. Ion
"The Good Guys" (consumer electronics store) has the MailStations for $99.

I've heard that Fry's does to.

Anyone have them for cheaper? For $50 I'd buy one just to dick around with it. $99 is a bit much to spend on something with dubious hackability.

Is that with their 1 year ISP contract or without?

There's no TOS when you buy the MailStation. It's just a box on the shelf as far as the store is concerned.

If it could be retargeted to another ISP, $99 would well worth it. Unfortunately, it looks like it might be too custom-built to be easily hacked.

Does the JVC unit look identical to the emessage and mailstation units.

uBid.com is still the cheapest by far...$19.00 plus postage if you get lucky. Fry's in San Jose has them for $79.00. Mine is up and running using NetZero as we speak. It'll be a good replacement for the caller ID in my bedroom.

Any hints on how you got it working with Netzero.

Wildcard,

It's really straightforward. There is a separate thread which discusses this elsewhere on this BBS (Search for "MaiStation can use your own e-mail account using free/pay ISP's! "). NetZero, Juno, FreeLane, Bluelight, etc., all encrypt your username and password which are passed to the logon server. For example, if your username is Bob, the username actually passed to the server is something like lMnlC9.3:abcBob@netzero.net. The password is similar. By using a program like RASSpy.exe from a PC while logging on to NetZero using their interface, you can see what is actually passed to the logon server. This username and password are used when setting up the MailStation in place of ISP Account and ISP Password. Email me at mbowling@direcpc.com if you need more help.

Currently $19.95 at my local Seattle-area Sam's Club (check the Sam's Club in your area). There is a plentiful stack of the Mailstation MIVO-100 ivory-coloured case units. The outside of the box has the nice Earthlink sticker.
