[Vision2020] Frontier (was Verizon) DSL

[Craine Kit]

Today I was trying to migrate a client's email access from Verizon to  
Frontier. It took forever to load the initial page. Glancing at the  
adddress bar, I noticed it was set to a directory at "Zimby.com".  
After several minutes with nothing loading, the URL switched to  
Frontier and eventually the log in page popped up.

Any body know what "Zimby" is and why it should do an invisible load  
before one's email is accessible?

Also, anybody know the incoming and outgoing addresses so I can set up  
computer (not web) based mail programs (Outlook, mac Mail, etc). I  
haven't been able to pry that info out of Frontier.
