   Incoming SMTP is not blocked with Demon ADSL, but it is not available
from Demon's mailserver under the wires-only ADSL service. Their argument is
that Demon may be able to see an ADSL modem, but that does not guarantee
that there is a computer swiched on and running on the customer's side of
the ADSL modem. The more expensive Demon business packages assume that there
is likely to be a server running, so that the Demon mailserver will be able
to send the mail immediately.
