How To Get Email Access Without A Computer
You can send and receive emails without a computer, with the Computerless Email System sold by Conestoga Projects, Inc.
  John Sensenig, president, developed the system in the past year using a keyboard, small screen and a variety of electronic services.
  The keypad is preprogrammed and simply plugs into an existing phone line. AC electricity or a 12-volt battery can power it. The keypad periodically uses the line to check for emails, but won’t interrupt if the phone is in use. Messages go to the LCD screen and can be fed to minimize use of a fax machine that prints out photos/documents and text messages.
  Cost is $199 for the keyboard and an additional $199/year for the email service charge.
  Sensenig notes that the system is popular with some Amish and Mennonite communities who object to the internet.
  “Ninety-nine percent of them use this related to business,” he says. The keypad is portable so people can take it wherever they retrieve phone messages and retrieve emails as well.
  Other customers live in areas where the internet isn’t available, or they don’t want to mess with computers and more complicated systems.
  There are some limits. It doesn’t connect to a printer, just a fax machine. Received attachments are limited to 2 MB.
  Up to 500 printed messages/photos are allowed per month.
  “Almost everyone who buys this already has a fax machine,” Sensenig notes. Customers like it because it’s a simple system that works.
