She had NO question. She made a statement and said she didn't have
those services through her provider. What's so hard to understand
about that? Either you have them or you don't. If you don't you have
to find them by other means.

I saw one link and I thought it was very nice of you to find it for
her. The down side of free servers is they don't stay free for very
long if they are any good and they don't stay around if they aren't
any good.
