Hey, I'm new here so plese forgive the noobiness. I just got a hold of
a det1 mailstation, and I've been looking around for ways to hack it
so I can use my own isp with it. I have no idea what Im supposed to
do, so any info would be super awsome.

Yes you can do this. But this question is answered once a week, so
please search the archive. Searching with the phrase "isp" or "my own
isp" should do it...
We really need to put a FAQ list...

Wooh, I was able to do it. My det1 succesfully logs into netzero.
one problem though, when it tries to connect to the netzero mail
server, it gets the error "the email service is busy or unavailable.
please try again later." Same thing goes with my yahoo account. I'm
pretty sure i put in the right pop3 and smtp adress. maybe its the
fact that my email adress is .net, and the pop3 and smtp adresses
are .com, though i dont think that's it. hmm... do you guys know of
any free email places that work well with it?
Oh and is the yahoo option functional at all? all i get is a clear
screen.
hold
hack it
to
own

AFAIK they dumped the service after a year. I bought a used machine with two
of the messages still inside - neat! I'd like to figure it out and 'fix' it
to work again.

I got a couple recently that have a "MyCIDCO" icon on the main
menu. This must be a replacement for the "My Yahoo" function.
One has TV listings & weather for Jan 6, 2005. The other
had news, and something else, also from this year (I guess I
erased it with the "flash test"). So, it would seem that
Earthlink was still providing it in January.
The info is stored in the first 8 pages of the dataflash, one page
for each item in the sub-menu under mycidco. I just get a blank
page now on the one I erased, with a "mycidco" tab at the top.
But there used to be two icons on that page, and selecting one
would display a page of data. The data for the page is stored
as one big bitmap graphic.
I don't think there is a lot of hope of using it as intended,
without a mailstation account from Earthlink. Even if you could
get the data into those pages (I suspect it uses the "clipmail"
extensions to pop protocol), where would you get the data to load?
But it might be a way to add some new functions to the
ms menu. It doesn't have to be tv listing or news, it
can be any code you want. I spliced some code into the
eventhadler, and it runs whenever you select the icon, or
any key is pressed, while viewing the associated data page.
(I just made it blink the mail LED.)
It probably won't look very good after yahoo smashes all the
indenting out, but here is the format of each item/page:
