[5] Support
Base Technology will at its sole discretion choose to offer support
to Users with active accounts. This support is limited explicitly to
the client devices provided by Base Technology for use in connecting
to the wireless network. No support is offered or implied for any type of hardware or software
owned by the end User including networking equipment, computers
or handheld devices.
[6] Equipment Rental
If you signed up for a monthly account but did not choose the option
for rental of an ethernet bridge or external client device,
you understand that this equipment is available for an additional cost and that you
may require it in order to receive the full extent of our services.
Under these circumstances, if you are not receiving the quality of service that you expected,
we may choose to either offer you a refund for your service, or offer you
the option of renting this equipment,
and you may choose whether you wish to accept this
offer or request a refund.
[7] OUTGOING MAIL
For security and as a precaution against SPAM,
outgoing mail on port 25 is now no longer supported.
Port 25 is still open for sending mail and if your mail server
'requires authentication' you will still be able to send outgoing mail
from within the network. At this time however we can not continue to provide support
for an open outgoing SMTP mail service if your own
mail server does not allow mail forwarding.
Most SMTP servers do not allow mail forwarding without authentication,
which means that if you are trying to send mail from within the network,
your outgoing mail may be rejected by your own mail server.
If you are having problems sending mail please use a
web based mail service (such as GMail, Hotmail or Yahoo) to send and receive your email.
