Congratulations.  You have now succeeded in regressing back to the
dumb-terminal-and mainframe days of the 1980s, albeit with a more
sophisticated terminal.

Our firm cannot do that because we insist on all stuff being stored on our
in-house machines (or through a VPN) because of the sensitive nature of
our clients' data - yes, we are our own ISP and mailserver.  Couple to
the fact that I am not comfortable with web/browser-based mail...
personal preference - I've tried it.

I still run my ham stuff - including the K2 applications - from a
separate PC.  Works for me.
